Course details
This course contains a variety of useful and practical techniques and tools that delegates can use to master the art of decision making. It covers topics such as choosing options, analysing implications of taking these options and deciding in groups. In addition, delegates are also introduced to fundamental decision making principles and associated philosophical implications of these principles which further prepares them to use the tools discussed in the course correctly. Each technique is accompanied with examples and exercises for maximum knowledge transfer.
This course teaches a series of proven techniques that simply help you to decide. Broadly the course can be divided into three sections:
- What actions can you take and how to choose the best one?
- Is the action you are about to take going to improve the situation?
- How to make optimal decisions as a group?
For each part, a series of techniques are provided, each suitable for a different problem. Each technique is described briefly and is then followed by an example fully describing the technique. Research shows, that delegates always learn better with an example and this course takes full advantage of this fact. Next, after each example, delegates participate in an exercise to learn that specific technique with a hands-on experience which helps them to understand and remember the technique even better.
A series of important philosophical principles are also presented in this course. These concepts help to raise the awareness of delegates on the impact of their decisions on others, how personal benefit may not always be to their best interest and so on.
