Strategy Preference Indicator

Optimize the Power of Strategic Thinking

Strategic alternatives abound, the unknown is great...Leaders may lose their competitive edge as they unconsciously repeat thinking patterns that served them well in the past.

How do great strategists discern that which is critical from that which is interesting, yet distracting? They accurately identify their strategy preferences as biases and become adept at planning for the inevitable blind spots.

The Dalton Spencer Strategy Preference Indicator© provides leaders with insights into their styles and beliefs about strategy in nine critical dimensions.

Structure - formality of planning
Locus of Dominant Influence - market focused vs. core competency driven
Origination - belief that strategy is selected or created
Inclusion - involvement in strategy formulation
Risk Tolerance - risk seeking vs. risk aversion
Risk Assessment - criticality of strategy evaluation
Success Drivers - profit vs. growth preference
Manifestation - the importance of ideas vs. execution
Adaptation - fluidity of strategy

The SPI© includes a series of items that indicate a leader's strategic preferences and can be completed in approximately 20 minutes. A detailed feedback report exposes the biases associated with each dimension preference and suggests practical methods to explore strategic opportunities from new perspectives. Team data can reveal areas of untapped opportunity.

Results provide powerful insights for use in executive strategic planning as well as in leadership development or management training on an individual or team basis. Call for additional information and pricing.
