Webinar: Strategic Problem Solving
How Leaders Solve Complex Business Problems
Strategic problem-solving is one of the most important skills in finance, FP&A, and business leadership. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to approach complex business problems, make better strategic decisions, and avoid solving the wrong problem.
This session explores how experienced leaders think through uncertainty, competing priorities, and high-stakes decisions. Instead of jumping straight to solutions, you’ll see how strategic thinkers define problems, evaluate options, and align teams before acting.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
🔹 How to distinguish strategic problems from operational ones
🔹 Why teams often jump to solutions too quickly
🔹 A structured framework for strategic problem solving
🔹 How leaders diagnose root causes and evaluate different paths forward
🔹 Practical ways to apply strategic thinking in finance and business roles
The discussion features Tim Vipond (CEO, CFI), Jeroen Kraaijenbrink (strategy educator and author), and Timothy Tiryaki (leadership and strategy expert), each bringing a different perspective on how to think more strategically in real-world situations.
Through a live case study and audience interaction, you’ll see how the same business problem can lead to very different conclusions depending on how it’s framed, and why defining the right problem is the most critical step.
If you want to move beyond analysis and contribute to better business decisions, this session will give you a clear, practical approach.
Relevant for: FP&A analysts, finance professionals, managers, and anyone looking to improve strategic thinking and decision-making skills.
