It’s the book of the day!
Direct quote I like, “In a world where technological advancements and globalization are reshaping the landscape, the ability to anticipate, adapt, and innovate is more important than ever. Strategic thinking isn't just about making plans; it’s about understanding and responding to an ever-changing environment. It involves recognizing patterns, analyzing complex systems, and maintaining mental agility. It’s about solving problems systematically, crafting a vision, and navigating organizational politics. These six skills aren’t just for top executives; they’re essential for anyone who wants to thrive in today’s dynamic world.”
The actional advice and final summary, “Strategic thinking is a multifaceted discipline essential for navigating today's complex business world. Pattern recognition involves identifying trends and signals in your environment so that you can stay ahead in competitive markets. Systems analysis enables you to anticipate and adapt to changes effectively.
Mental agility is essential in a world characterized by uncertainty and constant change. Structured problem-solving provides a methodical approach to tackling complex challenges, breaking them down into manageable steps for more effective resolution.
Visioning is vital for inspiring and aligning teams toward a common goal. And finally, political savvy is important in navigating the power dynamics within organizations – a skill that involves understanding, influencing, and aligning various stakeholders' agendas.
As you step forward, remember that mastering these six disciplines will not only enhance your leadership skills but also empower you to steer your career or organization toward greater success. Embrace this journey of strategic thinking, and watch as new doors of opportunity and achievement open before you. The future is yours to shape.”

The book "The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking: Leading Your Organization Into the Future" by Michael D. Watkins provides a comprehensive guide to mastering strategic thinking skills essential for success in today's dynamic business environment. Here's a summary of the key points covered in the book:
1. Pattern Recognition: Strategic thinking involves identifying significant trends and signals in complex environments. The Recognize-Prioritize-Mobilize (RPM) cycle helps in recognizing critical patterns, prioritizing them based on their impact, and mobilizing resources to respond effectively. Developing mental models of your business domain and learning from both success and failure are crucial for improving pattern recognition.
2. Systems Analysis: This discipline involves constructing mental models to comprehend complex environments and understand how different elements interact. By viewing your business as a system, you gain insights into internal dynamics and external influences, enabling you to anticipate and prepare for various scenarios effectively.
3. Mental Agility: Mental agility is about rapidly absorbing new information, shifting perspectives, and adapting strategies in a complex and uncertain landscape. It encompasses level-shifting and game-playing, which involve analyzing challenges at different levels and strategizing in situations involving multiple actors with potentially conflicting interests.
4. Structured Problem-Solving: This methodical approach segments the process of addressing significant organizational challenges into distinct, manageable steps. It involves defining roles, framing the problem, exploring potential solutions, deciding on the best option, and committing to a course of action. Regular practice and reflection on problem-solving experiences are essential for enhancing this skill.
5. Visioning: Visioning involves creating a future picture that is both aspirational and grounded in the organization's reality. It requires forward-looking exercises, effectuation, engaging with the team, and powerful simplification in communication. Embodying the vision in actions and decisions is crucial for aligning the organization toward a common goal.
6. Political Savvy: Navigating the intricate dynamics of power, influence, and alliances within an organization is essential for leadership success. Understanding and accepting the role of politics, effective influence strategies, emotional intelligence, and empathy are key components of political savvy.
By mastering these six disciplines of strategic thinking, leaders can effectively navigate the complexities of the modern business world, anticipate challenges, seize opportunities, and lead their organizations toward greater success.

March 25, 2024Notes:
- In a world where technological advancements and globalization are reshaping the landscape, the ability to anticipate, adapt, and innovate is more important than ever.
- TBA note for Jo - Strategic thinking isn't just about making plans; it’s about understanding and responding to an ever-changing environment.
- An essential aspect of pattern recognition in strategic thinking is what Watkins calls the Recognize-Prioritize-Mobilize or RPM cycle. First, you recognize the critical patterns or changes in your business environment. Next, you prioritize these based on their potential impact on your organization. Finally, you mobilize resources and actions to respond effectively. This cycle is a dynamic, ongoing process that helps you stay ahead in competitive markets.
- Systems analysis involves constructing mental models to comprehend more fully intricate environments like your business’s competitive landscape. It starts with dissecting complex situations into their components, understanding how these elements interact, and then using this insight to map out crucial cause-effect relationships.
- The structured problem-solving process unfolds through five key phases. It starts with defining roles and communicating the process, where identifying key stakeholders, understanding their roles, and clearly communicating the process ensure everyone is on the same page. The second phase, framing the problem, is about articulating the issue accurately, setting a clear understanding as the groundwork for effective problem-solving. The third phase, exploring potential solutions, is a stage for creativity, involving brainstorming and generating a range of possibilities before selecting the most promising ones. In the fourth phase, deciding on the best option, the focus is on critical analysis and making trade-offs among various options to identify the most effective solution. The final phase involves a commitment to a course of action, which includes allocating resources and defining steps to implement the chosen solution.
Notes for ARTC report:
- Systems analysis helps you identify how different parts of your organization, like processes and functions, are interconnected. Externally, it allows you to grasp how your business interacts with external factors such as market forces, customers, and regulations, leading to strategic opportunities for growth.
- It focuses on the interactions within a system rather than isolated components, recognizing that changes in one area can significantly impact others. This perspective is important for addressing complex problems and making informed decisions.
- In practice, systems analysis enhances your ability to quickly identify challenges and opportunities, leading to rapid strategy development.
- Mental agility in strategic thinking is about being able to absorb new information rapidly and refocus on what is most relevant, especially in a landscape characterised by complexity, uncertainty, volatility, and ambiguity.
- Regular practice and reflection on these experiences will sharpen your ability to effectively manage and resolve complex business challenges.
- Visioning workshops, where teams collectively brainstorm and envision the future, can be particularly beneficial. These sessions allow for the pooling of diverse perspectives and ideas, enriching the visioning process.
- To cultivate your political savvy, you need first to accept and understand the role of politics in organizational dynamics. View your organization as a network of individuals with distinct agendas and power bases. Your success hinges on identifying and engaging with key decision-makers, understanding their agendas, and aligning them with your own.
- Effective influence in organizations encompasses a range of strategies, including active consultation, persuasive framing of ideas, leveraging social pressure, and carefully shaping choices.

I generally enjoyed this book. It is a fairly quick read. The theory is good and useful for those interested in this topic. However, it is very light on examples and case studies.There seems to be one CEO of a healthcare company who was extensively interviewed and used to provide most of the examples. I liked this example because it demonstrated strategic thinking towards making change in an organization where things were going well but change was needed given that the CEO saw future changes coming.Towards the end there was another example of someone from Dutch multinational food provider but it was very confusing to follow and didn't seem very demonstrative of the theory that was being presented. Beyond these two, all other citations involved minor quotes from people.
As well, not only is it light on examples, but it's light on suggestions for developing these skills. In one of the disciplines it recommends pretending you're an architect when you go into a home or a building and consider changes you would make. I'm surprised this made it through the editing phase and something more substantive wasn't requested given this is the only advice given for that particular discipline.
Given my critiques though, I believe the theory of the disciplines are solid and well worth becoming familiar with and because this book is a quick read, I would recommend this book.

I love this book on the level I'd re-read this book and make a handwritten summary of it 👍🏻 It's about strategic thinking, more in the context of leader in an official organization or company, but it covers the basic that would be beneficial for individual career or smaller organizations.
The author explains why strategic thinking is essential in VUCA conditions (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) and how we can practice it. It explains the foundational disciplines of strategic thinking:
1. Pattern recognition
2. System analysis
3. Mental agility
4. Structured problem solving
5. Visioning
6. Politival Savvy
I like how it explains the concept and practical exercise instead of focusing too much on the examples. Hoping to turn this book into a discussion session in BBB Book Club 👍🏻

I liked this book.
Bought it a while ago and had it in my backpack, I started reading it when I had a crisis in my own business. The book is extremely well set out, and it was useful for me in enabling me to consider how to resolve my situation by looking at what I faced with the help of a thoughtful mentor.
Of course, it is one of those self help books, and as such it is part of that cliche. However, I think this is well researched and laid out in a logical and non-pretentious way, that is very helpful for "Sharpening the saw".

Great book! Very interesting, educative and inspiring content.
The book does not only help professionals leading an organisation into the future but it also teaches every individual, at any career level, how to build the ground for successful strategic thinking in the future.
Few of my many takeaways from the book: recognising patterns, recalling consequences, deciding on onward or backward planning, fast resolution and (for fun) playing more chess!

I hear the idea of strategic thinking getting thrown around a lot when it comes to promotions. The book is fine, but I feel like a lot of the information I already gathered before across several textbooks and life experiences.
I think if you were in university - before starting your first real corporate job - this book would be really insightful. As someone who is nearly a decade into my career, I have already noticed a lot of these patterns.

É um livro agradável de ler, remonta a várias situações práticas do trabalho de alguém que está em cargo de liderança. As ferramentas para como desenrolar cada disciplina, porém, poderiam ser mais detalhadas, trazendo ainda mais referências de outros materiais.
É um livro que eu consultaria em momentos específicos, e daria de presente para pessoas com alguns anos de experiência em gestão.

Autant son livre : "The First 90 Days" m'a longtemps suivi, autant The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking" va terminer dans une boîte au sous-sol. Ce livre donne l'impression que l'auteur a lu quelques livres et a tenté de créer sa propre théorie de la pensée stratégique.

Michael Watkins I found the first 90 days as well as this The Six Disciplines of strategic thinking to be spot on and very useful. The 6 disciplines are: pattern recognition, system analysis, mental agility, structured problem-solving, visioning, and political savvy.
June 7, 2025
Picked up this book because "First 90 days" is one of my favorite career focused books. This one had some great tactics for improving strategic thinking and appreciated that AI was included in the discussion and how to leverage it.

This book provides excellent and concise information on how to improve your strategic thinking in the complex world we live in. It is practical. However, I think it’d be helpful to have more specific examples and practices to put the disciplines to use and test out for yourself.

Fairly helpful
Most of the book is pretty obvious but its helpful to.see the topic organized in steps. Its worth a quick read.

Conscise but solid. The kind of text that I would have read during my Masters for Strategic Management. Very focussed on it's topic, and would serve as a practical guide.
