Julie Krivanek to Give Talk on Strategic Thinking in Upcoming September Webinar
DENVER, CO – Strategic thinking is among the most important skills for professionals in any business setting to know, and the produce industry is no exception. In light of this truth, produce industry professionals will want to tune in this September 23rd to Krivanek Consulting's Julie Krivanek, the industry's foremost expert on strategic behavior, for her must-see free webinar on “Strategic Thinking for Young Professionals.”
“The world’s top executives have spoken, ‘being strategic’ is the most important business practice today’s business professionals should have,” Krivanek said, citing research from Management Research Group. “This is a key skill our industry’s young professionals will need for advancement.”
“Strategic thinking and planning skills separate the best business thinkers from the rest of the pack, no matter what your job title or function,” she continued. “Learning and demonstrating it early in your career will help you advance.”
According to a press release, during the webinar Krivanek will be covering the following topics:
- How strategic thinking is shaped by our industry’s unique drivers.
- What strategic thinking is and how it differs from strategic planning.
- How to assess whether you’re a natural strategic thinker, or need to rewire your brain.
- Test your “organizational intelligence” (how much do you know about what really counts?).
- Test your “industry intelligence” (how much do you know about today’s hot trends, and how they shape your thinking about the future?).
- Why most ideas fall flat, and how to avoid this most common trap.
- Hot tips that you can immediately put to use to think strategically now.
September's webinar will mark the 3rd time Krivanek has addressed the industry about this important topic. In fact, her previous talk, “Putting the Latest Trends to Work for You” last July was a highest-rated session at PMA’s Foodservice Conference in Monterey. She also addressed PMA’s annual Women’s Fresh Perspectives Conference in May.
Krivanek founded Krivanek Consulting in 1990 after serving as Vice President to a major Fortune 500 company.
