This short course frames strategic thinking as a learnable habit rather than an innate trait: establishing the right mindset, deliberately allocating time for strategic work amid daily tasks, drawing lessons from past experience and historical patterns, applying strategic thinking to your own career, and helping a team adopt the same approach — closing with a section on how AI is changing strategic work.
The honest take: at just 53 minutes and 8,476 reviews at 4.7 stars, this is one of LinkedIn Learning's most consistently well-reviewed courses — its value is precisely its brevity: a practical, immediately-applicable primer rather than a deep strategy theory course, well-suited to professionals who want one focused session, not a multi-hour program.
