Problem Solving and Decision Making

Making sound decisions about how to resolve the problems we inevitably face in the workplace is an essential skill we all need in the complex world we live in. The problems we face come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of complexity; as do the decisions that accompany them. Some may be routine and have minor significance, but others may have far-reaching effects and consequences. In all cases we need to develop the confidence and capability to make effective decisions that are based on a robust and structured process.
  • Learn how to take a more structured approach to analyzing problems
  • How to implement and evaluate your decisions
  • Practice applying a range of tools to ensure that your decisions add true value
  • Training options for individual learners, groups/teams & organisation-wide
