Problem Solving and Decision Making

“The fear of being different prevents most people from seeking new ways to solve their problems.” Robert Kiyosaki
In this course we give you practical techniques to become a better problem solver and decision maker. We start by discussing the difference between efficiency and effectiveness, then discuss the various types of problem you are likely to encounter and how you might adopt different approaches to solving them. How do you prioritise? How can a team solve problems collectively? These questions and more are answered in this course.
We have also included a thought leadership article by Steven Johnson, author of the book Farsighted: How We Make the Decisions That Matter the Most
