Critical Thinking for Better Decision Making

Successful leaders consider all possibilities, opportunities and challenges when making decisions, often in the face of ambiguous and/or conflicting information. The ability to think critically and innovatively in this environment is a driver for growth and key to effective decision making. In this course, learners will develop skills to think critically and innovatively about issues in their workplace. Learners will analyze their own thinking habits, the assumptions and biases that inform them, and the results. This course will support your capacity to make better decisions and think more creatively in order to create a resilient, robust, and agile organization that meets ongoing demands.
