Strategic Analysis and Intuitive Thinking
Lesson
In this lesson, you will understand strategic analysis and intuitive thinking.
Also, you will be able to draw a color-coded map of the networks of power relations
(political, economic, cultural, and kinship ties) within a particular community.
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to: explain strategic analysis and
intuitive thinking; apply strategic analysis; and apply intuitive thinking in solving
a problem in the community using a map of social networks.
Learning Task 1: Take a look at the picture and examine its details. In a short
bond paper, construct a descriptive paragraph about the picture. Also, answer the
questions that follow.

Guide Questions:
1. What do the children do?
2. Do you think they have access to education?
3. How can the government and other social institutions help them?
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 stra-
tegic 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 ex-
perience translated by expertise to produce rapid action.
Charles Parselle, founding partner of Centers for Excellence in Dispute Res-

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

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.
Learning Task 2. From the problem presented in Learning Task 1, make a step-
by-step proposal that will address the children’s situation using the analytical
thinking methods presented. Do this in a short bond paper.
A. Identify the problems and the issues surrounding them.

B. Gather Information or Collect Data
C. Develop a Proposal for Solutions
D. Try out solutions or new ideas based on data collection (An Assumption)
E. Evaluate the solutions and take necessary measures
Learning Task 3: Study the given case and proposed an intuitive thinking-
based solution. Do this in a short bond paper.
Mr. Gonzales just return from abroad after recovering from COVID
19 infection. A mechanical engineer by profession, he decided to stay
and work in the Philippines for good. But it will take him 1 year before
he can work again. He has 2 high school and a prima- ry school
children in an exclusive school. His savings are almost depleted because
part of his medication and expenses of returning home is not
shouldered by the company he is serving.
If you are Mr. Gonzales, what Intuitive thinking based solution

would you consider and why?
