In today's business and research environment, organizations have identified critical thinking and psychological bias, for problem-solving skills as skills that are essential to the success of employees and their organizations. The most successful professionals can assess the environment, adequately analyze a situation, design high-quality solutions, and ultimately win in a competitive scenario.
This course demystifies, discusses, and provides applicable techniques for solving problems individually and in teams. The course guides you through an experimental problem-solving environment, offering fun and often playful indoor and outdoor problem-solving scenarios, which were developed and tested in many assessment centers or in-house trainings.
