Develop Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills as a New Leader

The interactive workshop includes facilitated discussion and is structured to develop logical, data-driven solutions to your business and organizational problems, identify the key business issues, and reach consensus about the nature of the problem to be solved – as well as the specific areas that will be explored to solve it.

The workshop will also focus on how to plan and organize faster, more effective and efficient data collection, move beyond biases and assumptions, making their logic transparent and open to legitimate discussion and exploration of the data, nurture commitment and develop support during the problem-solving process to drive results and analyze the potential effectiveness of alternative solution options.
