Let’s Learn!

Whenever people are faced with different kinds of problems, it is very

crucial to think of means of addressing them and preventing those
circumstances from happening again. But solutions are greatly influenced
by the manner in which one defines the problem and adopts a solution
based on his/her own understanding. There are basically two different
perspectives in addressing the problem.

1. Analytical thinking is a kind of logical thinking that addresses the

problems or issues by breaking it into its component parts. It uses
scientific methods of research and adopts frameworks or models to solve
the problems. Managers, especially those running big companies or
projects, tend to use this thinking strategy to pursue changes in directing
plans and goals.
Analytical thinking focuses and deals with concerns at a particular
time. It also contains time, is deconstructive, but is subject to
disorientation, brain- centered and tends to the abstract. It is considered
efficient in the following conditions: sufficient time, relatively static
conditions, a clear differentiation between the observer and the observed.
It is best suited for dealing with complexities, and works best where there
are established criteria for analysis (for example, rules of law). It is
requires an explanation, seeks the best option, and can be taught in
classroom to beginners.

2. Intuitive thinking is the kind of thinking that helps one understand

reality by perception or intuition without logic or analysis. It derived its
confidence from experiences. There are no analytical steps or methods
but based its action from observed indicators in the organizational
environment. It allows individual to develop his own mode of solution in
addressing strategic issues. Intuitive approaches are personal and
custom-made. It some- times derived a problem-based solution that is not
quite easy to share and at times too difficult to copy or adapt. Managers
utilized the power of persuasion to get people agree rather than the logical
sense of com- ing up with an action.

Intuition works best where the observer has the same experience in
the particular situation. It is difficult to teach in the classroom, has the
tendency to work on feelings in favour of a more workable solution.
Intuition is experience translated by expertise to produce rapid action.

Key Components of Strategic Analysis

There are lot of factors to be a strategic thinker. Strategic thinking

understands and examines to see the big picture of an organization or a
community.
The following are the key components of strategic analysis:

Tool Strategic
Rationale Systematic Goals
analysis Planning

Analytical process usually involves the following steps:

A. Identifying the problems and the issues surrounding them.
B. Information gathering or Data collection
C. Developing and Proposing solutions
D. Trying out solutions or new ideas based on data collection
E. Evaluating if the solutions worked and taking necessary measures.

Key Components of Intuitive Thinking

Intuitive thinking helps you understand reality because of its components.

Laack of Non- Quick Gut Feel Experiences

Rationalization sequencial Insights

Creative solution using Intuitive thinking

Intuitive thinking is the ability to understand the reality without using

logical reasoning. It uses years of experiences and your senses to create
solution to a certain problem in the community.

Intuitive thinking can actually create solution without using tool

analysis as long as there’s a lot of experiences and expertise and at the
same time social networks can be used to create solutions.

Charles Parselle, founding partner of Centers for Excellence in Dispute Res-

olution - CEDRS.COM , presented his comparison of the components of
Analytical and Intuitive thinking.

A social network is a set of social actors (such as individual or

organization, institutions) in a social structure that interacts with each
other.
In the map of social networks, it helps us to examine and understand
situations which can identify problems/threats in a certain community,
since these networks are interrelated. Institutions like politics, economic,
cultural and even kinship ties help to examine and identify problems in
making creative solutions.

Let’s Summarize!

Strategic Analysis
• is a process of examining and identifying a problem/threats using
rational thinking, conceptualizing with systematic and step-by-step
process.
• use to analyze an organization to formulate a strategic planning in
achieving goal/aims.
• A process of conducting research to identify problems in the
environment to formulate a strategy for creating solutions.

Strategic-analytical thinking involves time, uses abstract and criteria,

brain-centered to see the big picture of the environment to formulate
strategy in achieving goal.


Intuitive thinking
•  is a “quick and ready insight” (Webster’s New Collegiate
Dictionary)
• a kind of thinking that examines and understands a certain
problem 

without using logical reasoning or rational thinking.
• It referred to as your gut feeling, your instinct, senses and years of 

experiences that can help to create solutions in a certain problem
in an organization or in the community.
