Critical thinking and problem solving are two of the most sought-after skills today, and one that corporations say are the hardest to find.
These days, too many leaders outsource their decision making. Rather than consult their own experience and employees, they hire expensive consultants to think for them.
Navigating our complex world represents a serious challenge for today’s leaders. To be successful, they must make good decisions quickly, and that requires effective critical thinking.
Now there is a way to help your clients challenge their assumptions, stress-test their strategies, and create resilient plans that are ready for whatever tomorrow brings.

In this session, we’ll dive deeper into the cognitive biases and heuristics that skew our thinking in ways we are not aware of, discuss how these biases impact our decision making, and talk about how to overcome them. We will also discuss groupthink, satisficing and other impediments to good decision making in organizations.
