Strategy course and "Logical Thinking Process"
by Bill Dettmer and Thorsteinn Siglaugsson

The Logical Thinking Process

The Logical Thinking Process, as the name suggests, uses sound logic and a set of tools to provide executives and system managers with a structured way to move from an ill-defined system level problem or strategic challenge to a fully implemented solution.

The Logical Thinking Process (LTP) is an integrated set of logic based tools intended specifically to answer four essential questions crucial for both strategy development and problem solving:

1. What is the benchmark of desired system performance?
   2. Why is the system not already achieving that benchmark?
   3. What should be done differently to achieve the benchmark?
   4. How should changes be effected?

The LTP can typically help produce a completed strategy implementation plan within a matter of weeks. It provides an easy way for executives to monitor progress of strategy deployment. The resolution of complex and persistent system problems has been designed in as short as a few days and no more than a few weeks.

'' Since I began teaching the Logical Thinking Process in 1993, I've trained over 800 working professionals in its intricacies. Thorsteinn Siglaugsson ranks up there in the top three students I've ever had. But as most people know, being able to teach what one knows effectively requires a different skill set than merely doing it. Thorsteinn is one of the rare individuals who has both skills - doing AND teaching. Plus, he adds something I never could have - the integration of Artificial Intelligence with the Logical Thinking Process. I believe the future of the LTP is bright... '' Bill Dettmer.
