Problem Solving and Decision Making

OVERVIEW: Problem Solving and Decision Making discusses the process and challenges technical professionals and managers face in making timely decisions. It is a one-day workshop providing participants with tools and tactics for working with real world problems in a professional environment. This class is a catalyst for better idea generation and provides analytical tools for problem definition, solution evaluation and selection.

The workshop is highly interactive, combining demonstrations and brief discussions of key learning points with individual and group “hands-on” problem-solving exercises to reinforce learning and build confidence. The day is designed to help participants solve problems and make decisions to bring better value to their organizations and customers. Participants apply the processes and tools presented by working on real world and case study problems throughout day.

KEY TOPICS: Introduction: What is a “problem” and what does it mean to “solve” one? – Participants will see new perspectives on problem identification and solutions.

Verification: Tools and tactics for problem definition – Whether defining a “problem” or an “opportunity”, problem solvers must understand fundamental parameters and assumptions about the situation.  This section explores methods to quickly gather and organize relevant information about a problem.

Identification: Heuristics for alternative solution generation – Introduces participants to techniques for generating a wider range of solutions.  These tools improve both the quality and quantity of alternatives available to the problem solver.

Selection: Evaluating alternatives – The intersection between problem solving and evidence based decision-making is the analysis of different options.  Several approaches will explore, including advantages, disadvantages and pitfalls.

Execution: Implementation considerations – How to implement decisions for maximum effectiveness and organizational learning.

Decision Making

Make effective decisions — in business and in life..

Effective decision making is key to success in the workplace and beyond. In organizations, critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making are among the most important tasks people perform on a daily basis. However, increasing levels of complexity can put a significant strain on our judgement, often leading to poor choices that can have a long-term impact.

The Decision Making online program will equip you with the skills needed to make better, more effective decisions within your sphere of influence. Over six weeks, you’ll gain a framework for understanding decisions across a range of contexts, from business strategy to policy.

Learn from world-class subject matter experts as you explore the cognitive processes, psychological, and behavioral foundations that form the basis of decision making. Throughout the program, you’ll learn to analyze your choices using the three core pillars of decision making (context, uncertainty, and time), as you investigate theoretical models underpinning decisions and engage in discussions with a global network of professionals.

You’ll examine the use of mental shortcuts called heuristics. You’ll also explore the most notable biases people have and how to circumvent them. By the end of the program, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of decision-making processes that will help you avoid pitfalls and make effective decisions in both your career and personal life.

Struggling with creating long-term, impactful solutions?

Decision making and problem solving are at the heart of what successful people do best. Professionals in all industries must navigate these tedious tasks through high levels of uncertainty. Teams made up of multi-functional players from varied schools of thought can either act to stimulate or suppress creative thinking in the workplace. The competitive landscape of business in today’s world is in a mode of constant re-design and must be monitored for change. Besides making short-term tactical decisions, managers must be able to comfortably and confidently execute tasks requiring long-term, strategic decision making. Problem solving with a view to the future is one of the challenges requiring the critical thinking skills many people lack.

Strategic Problem Solving for Better Decision Making is designed to improve your analytical abilities and guide you toward critical thought. You will understand the decision making process from start to finish. You will receive the tools necessary to develop your ability to strategically make individual, team and organizational decisions.

  • Do you find it difficult to challenge your own beliefs or opinions when seeking to solve problems?
  • Do you find details are drowning out the productivity of your decision making processes?

Answering ‘yes’ to any of these questions indicates this problem solving skills training will offer solutions which will benefit not only you, but your entire team! During this information-packed hour we will explore the best practices and behaviors that lead to strong strategic thinking, problem solving and decision-making habits. You will learn how to effectively use critical thinking and gain a more thorough understanding of the connection between a decision and a solution. Learning to employ the 7 Step Approach to Problem Solving will eliminate the tendency to procrastinate allowing for a higher level of productivity due to more timely decision making and strategic problem solving.

Improve your decision-making capabilities through critical thinking, structured reasoning, and creative problem analysis.

Effective decision makers are those rare individuals who are able to consistently identify and choose the best option among multiple alternatives. Their decisions are imaginative, reasoned, and defensible.

In this course, you will be provided with the training and tools necessary to become an inventive, logical decision maker. You'll explore a structured way to approach and dismantle problems, and you'll learn to clarify problems in terms of objectives and issues, with a view toward optimum outcomes.

Applying the techniques of critical thinking allows you to dismantle complex problems and to understand the inputs and implications of your thought processes. This training allows you to develop positions on issues that are logical and explicable to others. After completing the course, you'll understand why most decisions are of poor quality and you will be able to impose quality controls on your decisions and the decisions of others.
