This strikes me as demagoguery unless an accompanying explanation is provided; i.e. just one of those sentences that is used to beat people over the head and make them feel crappy, establish social-professional dominance, etc.

If there are specific parts of the big picture you're not seeing and should be seeing, you should be told -- with reasonable clarity -- what they are, or at least given some very concrete and actionable examples.

If the implication is that you're just not understanding your industry domain, there's no substitute for experience and independently motivated learning. This takes time, and you can't bake the cake faster if you set the oven to broil, impregnate 9 women and get a baby in one month, etc. Your manager will just have to be patient.
