What Is Strategic judgment?

Apply strategic judgment deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that strategic judgment directly affects.

Why Does Strategic judgment Matter?

Strategic judgment matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by strategic judgment can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying strategic judgment may:

  • uses strategic judgment deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by strategic judgment
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what strategic judgment requires

How to Develop Strategic judgment

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where strategic judgment is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
  • observe how a more experienced person handles strategic judgment and record the specific decisions they make
  • review one completed task and identify where stronger strategic judgment would have changed the result
