Training Overview

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.
 

What will I learn?

“Critical Thinking for Problem-Solving” is a 1-day program developed by Industry Partners Australia around the facilitation of problem-solving, bias recognition, developing problem clarity, logical reasoning, solution generation and selection techniques.
