Description

There is little consensus on what critical thinking and problem solving are. Within the context of management, however, there is widespread agreement that taking on multiple perspectives about an issue leads to more effective courses of action.

This course draws upon the work of Edward DeBono’s Six Thinking Hats model.  The “hats” ensure that each component of an issue receives adequate consideration.

These are:

  • Hard Data
  • Intuition
  • Downside Risks
  • Upside Benefits
  • Creativity
  • Control

In addition, participants are introduced to a process of perspective taking or stakeholder analysis.

Who Should Attend
