Applied Critical Thinking: A 3-Phase Approach to Developing Problem Solvers & Efficient Thinkers

Topic: Applied Critical Thinking: A 3-Phase Approach to Developing Problem Solvers & Efficient Thinkers Date: April 27, 2010 at 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET

Description

If you’re not developing your employees’ ability to apply critical thinking skills, then you’re missing a huge opportunity. Improved critical thinking skills lead to more effective problem-solving, well-reasoned decisions, improved strategic thinking, and better planning and implementation in your organization.

Some argue critical thinking is a skill some are born with, and others lack. We’ll show that critical thinking is definitely a skill to be developed - one that reaps huge benefits when applied to specific organizational challenges.

Join Scott Dannemiller, Senior Consultant and Facilitator of Executive Development Associates, and Judy Chartrand, Ph.D. and Consultant Chief Scientist at Pearson TalentLens, as they discuss the importance that critical thinking will play in the next 3-5 years, the link between critical thinking and performance, and the immense dollar impact that can be achieved by implementing a 3-phase, action learning approach to teaching applied critical thinking skills within your organization.
