Programme Description
This interactive workshop introduces a variety of creative solution generation and decision-making techniques. Participants will develop the skills necessary to analyze a problem, generate creative solutions, and decide which solution most closely matches their needs.
After practicing the new tools and techniques, participants will apply them on an interesting case study. A Workbook is supplied to each participant for notetaking so that they can re-examine the programme content at any point in the future.
By the successful completion of this programme, you will be able to:
- Apply logical tools to properly analyze problems for root causes.
- Establish and compare options in a variety of situations.
- Identify the best choice from various options and address group think.
- Achieve group consensus about important decisions.
- Apply a four-step process to systematically solve problems and decide on appropriate decisions/solutions.
- Use methods and tools (systematic process and fishbone diagramming) to discover the underlying cause of a problem.
- Use brainstorming, brainwrite (new technique), mind mapping, and several other creative thinking techniques to generate possible solutions to the problem.
- Use the following decision-making techniques: Pro/Con, Force Field Analysis, Decision Matrix, Feasibility/Capability Analysis, and Cost/Benefit Analysis.
- Create an action plan to implement the appropriate solution.
