Problem-solving and decision-making are rarely limited to boardrooms or sticky-note workshops. This course offers an in-depth exploration of the strategic attitude that every manager ought to have, regardless of whether they are overseeing teams, deadlines, or the odd office tea argument.

Without the jargon or waffle, we examine how to use organised models, evaluate circumstances logically, and sort through the mess of uncertainty to arrive at logical decisions.

This course on decision-making and problem-solving techniques for managers is designed to help you with risk-aware analysis, creative solution design, and critical thinking frameworks.

Studies show that diverse teams make decisions that yield 60% better results. Involving teams and seeking various viewpoints can lead to more innovative and effective solutions.
Companies that focus on long-term strategic thinking, which involves sound decision-making, show significantly better performance. McKinsey research indicates that such firms experience 47% higher average revenue growth and 36% higher earnings growth.

Group dynamics, crisis management, logical and intuitive decision-making models, and analytical methods like SWOT and cost-benefit analysis will all be covered. It’s perfect for managers who want to be recognised for more than just their spreadsheet colour coding because it’s full of insightful information presented in an approachable manner. We pledge to be fully online, CPD accredited, and flipchart-free.
