Why You Should Attend This Course:

Businesses today are experiencing revolutionary strides which have resulted in new methods of exceeding the expectations of stakeholders. How can we constantly evaluate the transformation and continue to re-engineer the processes to meet these increasing demands?

Critical thinking clarifies goals, examines assumptions, discerns hidden values, evaluates evidence, accomplishes actions, and assesses conclusions. More than ever, we must be able to clearly reason through problems and present arguments in a logical, compelling way or even reasonably challenge "standard operating procedure" or workflow processes.

In this two-day course, participants will be given practical tools and hands-on techniques to translate ideas into functional actions or deployable plans.
