Critical Thinking for Problem Solving

Training Provider: Industry Partners Australia

Delivery Method: Public, On-site

Critical Thinking
 
You have a formalised problem-solving process used in your organisation, but ask yourself, do you have effective problem solvers in every area of your business? 
 
Are your teams resolving the minor issues before they escalate into serious issues? 
 
Is your problem-solving process creating a great culture of collaboration and teamwork and is it really working for you? 
 
We have seen multiple approaches to the methodology of problem-solving in industry with varying levels of success. The missing element is often effective facilitation of the problem-solving process and knowledge of critical thinking within the problem-solving teams. 
 
It is well recognised that the ability to “think critically” falls within the top five skills for the future. 
 
Critical thinking when problem-solving is a learned behaviour that will benefit your business, and more importantly, your valued employees.
