As the pace and nature of change increases globally, the complexity of solving problems is becoming a critical competence for leaders. The risk of flawed and short-term, knee-jerk decisions is high and leaders need to develop the ability to think their way through business-critical challenges and opportunities. Simple analysis and experience-based solutions are no longer sufficient for competing on the global stage. The quality of thinking will determine the quality of decisions and the resulting actions and behaviours. For that reason, we present a powerful and innovative new programme, mainly focused on the cognitive domain (thinking) for leaders. We use an approach of consulting education, ensuring rapid, concrete and lasting ROI from learning & consulting engagements. This exciting programme, typically for larger organisations at senior levels, but suitable for every manager and leader who needs to make important decision, includes the following to support high quality decision-making to navigate complexity.
Enhanced skills in thinking creatively for competitive advantage.
3
Clear models and tools on strategy for use in the workplace.
4
Accelerated innovation through new thinking models.
5
Tools for anticipating future trends and responding innovatively.
