CRITICAL THINKING & ANALYTICAL SKILLS TRAINING COURSE
Today’s business thrives on uncertainty and dealing with complex problems becomes a norm rather than an exception. To equip individuals with the necessary skills to resolve problems and make decisions they have to be trained to be problem solvers using critical thinking techniques.
This training program has been designed to introduce participants to the concept of “critical” or unconventional thinking that is required to solve complex problems. It starts with the premise that everyone is a habitual, conventional thinker and then encourages the participants to expand the thinking horizon beyond conventional thinking through a series of games and activities.
It also covers key issues that need careful consideration before making decisions and resolving problems. Given that decision making and problem solving requires careful analytical skills, this topic will be covered extensively during the course of this two day program as well.

FAQ & FURTHER INFORMATION
The 70:20:10 Model for Learning and Development has been found to be most effective within the training profession to describe the optimal sources of learning aimed at developing work based competencies. It holds that individuals obtain 70 percent of their knowledge from job-related experiences, 20 percent from interactions with others, and 10 percent from formal educational events.
Based on this model, we propose that this course be structured along similar lines. It is proposed that it is undertaken in stages. These stages will include awareness stage, appreciation stage and application stage
