Critical Thinking

Best Investment in People? Develop Cognition

The ability to think quickly and clearly, to be creative in finding solutions, and to take the right decisions with awareness of the impact of time, are cornerstones of being human. Over two days, this course takes you from Critical Thinking 101, through to creative problem-solving techniques, and to decision frameworks.

• Think quickly and clearly, using mental frameworks
• Factor time into processes and decisions
• Communicate with empathy and without ambiguity
• Develop a critical appreciation of the strengths and weaknesses of AI

Course Delivery

While it’s great to be in-person with the instructor, this course works extremely well remotely too. Participants are mentally ‘present’ in each exercise, and working with others who might be in-person or remote. Group work is optionally on paper and/or virtual whiteboards. Communicating how we think is a big takeaway.

Each of the 8 sessions introduces 3 tools and/or techniques, building a sizeable toolset. This is reinforced with a 24-card deck — one handy takeaway quick-reference card per tool or technique. Very useful back in the office! The course is delivered progressively, giving the distinct feeling of building a personal thinking toolset.

There are four approachable scenarios used to contextualise the learning: a large Government agency, an eCommerce startup, a Power Company, and a Recreational Marina. The course can also be adapted to your own scenario (please talk with us).
