Course Outline
Problems and opportunities are encountered every day as a regular course of business. But considering them with thoughtful and outcome-oriented approaches is not an everyday occurrence. Too often the same problems rear their heads over and over, or the solution doesn't quite work, or opportunities are identified once it's too late to pursue them.
This course presents a number of structured approaches for handling problems, opportunities, decisions and implementation that ultimately will help you save time, maximizes expertise and be more effective. The course addresses the five types of critical thinking needed in business environments: strategic thinking, tactical thinking, analytical thinking, innovating thinking and implicative thinking. It also teaches a five-step process for responding to business problems and opportunities: identify and analyze problems/opportunities, analyze the environment, explore potential responses, select the optimal response and implement the optimal response.
Through exercises and case studies, you'll practice using these different thinking approaches to achieve maximum results. You'll come away with an understanding of your preferred critical thinking style and tools and techniques for using different types of thinking to identify problems and opportunities, analyze root causes and think innovatively. You'll be able to consider internal and external environment factors that impact how to approach problems or opportunities. You'll also have the opportunity to practice applying different approaches for selecting and communicating appropriate responses. Finally, you'll have the opportunity to apply core concepts to a specific problem or opportunity from your own business environment, share newly learned approaches with classmates, and get and receive feedback on those approaches.
