Problem Solving and Decision-Making – BM-PSDM

Problem Solving & Decision Making

Course Code: BM-PSDM

We make decisions and solve problems continually. We start making decisions before we even get out of bed (shall I get up now or not?). Sometimes, we will have made as many as 50 decisions by the time we leave for work. Despite all the natural decision making that goes on and the problem solving we do; some people are very uncomfortable with having to make decisions. You may know someone who has a hard time making decisions about what to eat, never mind the internal wrestling they go through in order to take on major decisions at work. This two-day workshop will teach participants how to: – Apply problem solving steps and tools – Analyze information to clearly describe problems – Identify appropriate solutions – Think creatively and be a contributing member of a problem-solving team – Select the best approach for making decisions – Create a plan for implementing, evaluating, and following up on decisions – Avoid common decision-making mistakes
