I used to look at every complex situation from one angle. Now I can look at the same problem from five, ten angles. I can analyse him, take the right tool and move on. These are the skills I need in my job. I recommend the Strategic Thinking training to anyone who solves more complex projects — and especially anyone who has some decision-making power in a team or company.

As a freelancer, you feel like you're doing everything. Strategy is the last thing there is time left for. I signed up for Strategic Thinking mainly to force myself to stop and set aside time for long-term, conceptual thinking. And it worked.

In training, I wanted to gain a pitch. I'll stop for a bit so I can think about things strategically. I have no room for this in the company when dealing with ordinary operations. Honza led the training a lot practically. It can be seen that he has a lot of experience. The most beneficial for me was the last meeting, where we met physically and discussed our proposals and various strategic approaches live with others.

And a key insight from Strategic Thinking: you have to take the time to strategize - it's a process. Anything chaotic and operational that brings about your normal workday is not strategic, although it sometimes seems that way.

Wardley's maps are a game changer for me. Thanks to the Strategic Thinking training, I discovered a completely new perspective on strategy and validation of business ideas. On the first evening, I'm mapping out different directions where we want to take the company, and I'm hitting a wall. Five of the seven ideas are completely out of whack. But did it work for me under a different approach?! My brain is on fire. I'm mapping on and really - it's not working out. Wardley's maps are a complete game changer for me.

The Strategic Thinking course really excited me. I can totally feel - except on a physical basis - how my brain moved.

I thought I was doing the strategies well for years, and I was wrong. Strategic thinking has shown me how to better map business situations, set the right direction in terms of evolution, competitive advantage, validate ideas, do the right things right and add value. I learned how to use amazing frameworks and think 2 levels higher, most importantly to think completely differently than before. It was great training - from the concept to what it taught us all. Where does crappy backpacker training stack up against what House of Řezáč does!

Before Strategic Thinking, I was also in Strategic Design, so I had very high expectations. All of them were met. The training helped me with the concrete application of tools that allow me to find a common language to discuss and move the company's strategy, even when an I.T., a marketer, a lawyer and a CEO are sitting over it. Moreover, one gets a tremendous opportunity to look under the hood of a particular company's leadership, which solves strategic problems and discussions all the time and conducts them with complete openness.

The training was great in its breadth and scope. I took away a lot of suggestions and aha moments that I will work with and revisit in the months and years to come. The biggest aha moment was that frameworks like Wardley's maps are especially useful as a tool for discussing strategy. They shine a light on a given subject from X different perspectives and open up a host of questions that one wouldn't think of on their own. Strategic thinking has exceeded my expectations.

I must say that Honza Řezáč gave us a really great and inspiring training. I was satisfied with the experience and would definitely recommend this training to others who also want to improve their strategic thinking.

Strategic thinking opened my eyes. I have gained insight into frameworks that now help me align my thoughts and offer new perspectives on business and strategy. The time and money invested paid off within days. If anyone is hesitant to attend, it's better to check right away when the course starts and set aside time in your calendar. Thanks for the dense preparation to tame the thoughts. It was a very useful training.

The course is great. I dare to say that I haven't had such a beneficial training in a couple of years, and I've been through quite a few different foreign workshops or tailor-made training. I'm really impressed. Now I just have to keep putting it into practice.

The training focused on developing strategic thinking was not only inspiring for me, but also wonderfully useful in the long run. The frameworks implemented now play a key role in our workflows. The design probes we learned to use have become an indispensable element in the development of innovative products. With this new perspective on strategic thinking, our corporate compass is now pointing towards success.

I presented our product guys with a selection of tools from Strategic Thinking and it was a great success! We will continue to do so.
