Critical Thinking in Business is a business orientated training solution combining our two core workshops (Overcome your Cognitive Biases! & Business Applications or Argument Analysis).
The Critical Thinking in Business training solution is designed to improve your ability to reason and think critically using a step-by-step method. Completing this programme will result in improved decision making, problem solving, communication skills and your ability to think strategically.
Day 1 Overcoming Your Cognitive Biases!
This workshop will introduce you the Critical Thinking tools and techniques and show you why we need these. In this workshop, you will learn about the various heuristics (shortcuts in reasoning) used in decision-making, and the cognitive biases that result. You will learn techniques to overcome the cognitive biases that are likely to affect your reasoning in the workplace. You will learn the Grove method of Argument Analysis and how to apply it to complex arguments. For a more detailed workshop outline and downloadable fact sheet go here.
Day 2 Business Applications of Argument Analysis
The Business Applications of Argument Analysis workshop builds on the foundations of the Overcome Your Cognitive Biases! workshop. In our first workshop you learn the Grove Method of Argument Analysis, and how this method generates the questions that you need to ask yourself when engaged in reasoning to ensure that you are not being affected by cognitive biases. In the Business Applications of Argument Analysis workshop, we expand on the method, and consider further applications relevant to business. For a more detailed workshop outline and downloadable fact sheet go here.
At the end of this programme you will have learned the techniques and tools that will improve your decision making, problem solving, communication skills and your ability to think strategically.
Let's get started down the path to better, more reasoned thinking.
