Strategy and intuition: an unlikely partnership?

Is there a role for intuition in developing business strategy?

In our experience, when developing strategic approach, successful HR people often draw heavily on their intuition as well as their analytic skills and understanding of the business. Often it is intuition which leads us to explore a particular idea or which helps us choose a direction for further analysis when faced with multiple options. We are all constantly gathering information unconsciously through our experiences and interactions, and this can pave the way for intuitive insights, often when we least expect them.

However, taking a systematic approach to using intuition is important if you want to make the most of it. We like this exercise which will help you reflect on and identify when and how your intuition works, in order to harness it most effectively in your strategic thinking.
