Course Overview
Problem solving requires analysis-based decision making, innovation and implementing solutions. Our Innovative Problem Solving and Decision-Making workshop, now even more accessible with SkillsFuture, will equip you with all the tools and techniques to approach any problem creatively..
Thinking about all the problems we face today, have they become so complex that we are unable to find optimal solutions to resolve them?
Many problems in our organizations come about as a result of less than stellar decisions made in the past.
- Why is it that we were not able to solve them and they keep coming back?
- Are we are only solving the symptoms and not the root cause?
- Are we using the same tried before strategies to solve these problems?
- Do we need to generate new ideas and ways of resolving them?
This 3-day programme will equip participants with strategies on how to create an environment which fosters a new and innovative approach to problem solving and decision making. They will be exposed to processes, tools and key takeaways to help them be more effective in this area. The steps and actions presented are clear and practical ones but also ones that can have a strong overall positive impact.
