Welcome Back!

The ability to interact with ASME instructors who bring real world experience, examples, and best practices to life in our learning experiences is a major reason learners choose face to face training. Networking with peers is also a valuable part of the time spent together during a course. We are excited to start offering these important courses again in person.

Schedule: ​This course commences at 8:30 AM and ends at 5:30 PM local time, each day, with breaks scheduled throughout. 

October Venue: This course will be held at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace in conjunction with ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Week.  Please follow this link for hotel reservations.

Engineers and engineering professionals can use strategic thinking and communication to hone in on the skills that allow them to work through unknown situations and ensure long-term personal and professional success. Strategic thinkers can distinguish between causation and correlation, emotion and intellect. They can apply proven methods to evaluate risk and determine the best choice for action.  

In this course you will be presented with both standard tools (e.g., SWOT) and innovative approaches to help develop your strategic mindset. You will learn how to discern fallacious reasoning traps as well as ways to counter them. In addition, you will practice using a powerful model to construct and deliver a winning argument.


By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:

  • Recognize opportunities to influence and create strategic alliances
  • Use strategic thinking to identify key strengths and weaknesses in your work group
  • Apply strategic models that can be used immediately
  • Develop persuasive skills to sell your strategic idea
  • Describe and apply strategic and tactical thinking, paradigms, risk, and judgment in all aspects of your work
  • Employ strategic thinking to add value to your organization
  • Identify one’s own thinking style and how to improve individual and group functioning
  • Explain how to apply the cost/benefit of risk

Who should attend?

This course is designed for engineering professionals and their managers, supervisors, and team leaders who need to improve their decision-making skills and enhance their strategic outlook.
