Brookings InstitutionBrookings Executive Education: A Partnership of the Brookings Institution and Washington University in St. Louis The Brookings Institution—founded in 1916—is a nonprofit, public policy organization based in Washington, D.C. Its mission is to conduct high-quality, independent research and, based on that research, to provide innovative, practical recommendations that advance three broad goals: Strengthen American democracy Foster the economic and social welfare, security and opportunity of all Americans Secure a more open, safe, prosperous and cooperative international system A world leader in management education and scholarly research, Olin Business School has flourished since 1917 at Washington University in St. Louis. Olin’s portfolio of degree and nondegree programs emphasizes critical thinking and strategic problem-solving, creativity and innovation, a global perspective, and the collaborative, applied learning needed to tackle the most complex, cross-functional issues. In addition to Brookings, Olin partners with more than 20 international universities, including Fudan University in Shanghai, China; the Cass Business School in London; Fundação Dom Cabral in Nova Lima, Brazil; and the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, India. Olin’s award winning curriculum on critical thinking serves as the bedrock of Brookings Executive Education. The MBA Roundtable, a collaborative organization comprised of 150 business schools worldwide, bestowed its first Innovator Award in 2011 to the Olin Business School for its unique curriculum Critical Thinking@Olin. Brookings Executive Education has modified this content for government managers and executives to provide them with the same important knowledge and know-how that is being recognized as essential for business success, particularly in times of economic stress and uncertainty. This catalog identifies specific courses offered at the Brookings Institution that will help federal managers and leaders meet their developmental needs in the five ECQs. However, the Brookings Institution offers several other leadership courses, which are not included in this catalog that managers and leaders may find beneficial and rewarding.

Doing so requires not only investments in people, processes, and organizational structure, but also in the analysis of trade-offs because resources are limited. Strategic thinking requires leadership to look for external and internal changes and trends that may call for adjusting the strategy. This course on strategic thinking introduces the topic and helps you proactively manage your organization for long-term success. The program establishes a framework for strategic thinking and provides you with an opportunity to practice new strategies not only with respect to various case scenarios, but also with respect to your own agency.

This course will explore two objectives. First, it investigates how leaders can develop a vision and communicate it to create and sustain a positive workplace. Developing a vision statement requires it to fit within the mission and values of the organization as well as lead to a tangible strategy and set of strategic initiatives. The vision statement is a bridge between an organization's mission and its strategy. Second, the course examines specific methodologies and provides practical tools for leading change in complex organizations. Developing a vision statement, strategy, and set of strategic initiatives is a social enterprise.
