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.
In this interactive 3 hour workshop you will learn how to take a more structured approach to analysing the problems you face and making decisions with confidence. You will follow a series of steps – from defining what the real problem is, up to implementing and evaluating your decision - and will practice applying a range of tools to ensure that your decisions add true value to your business. Once you get back to your desk, you will be ready to tackle whatever faces you and drive to more successful resolutions and outcomes.
