Essentials Skills for Thriving in the Workplace Series

Critical Thinking for Creative Problem Solving 

 
Course Description:
In this course, participants will explore the differences between critical thinking and creative thinking, understanding how each contributes uniquely to problem-solving endeavors. They will uncover the benefits and impact of both creative and critical thinking, recognizing that creative thinking fosters flexibility and curiosity to discover possible solutions, while critical thinking promotes objectivity and rationality to determine which is most effective.  

Participants will learn systematic steps for examining information, asking the right questions, and evaluating the available options. Additionally, they will explore the concept of framing problems as questions to shift their focus to potential solutions and possibilities. 

By the end of this course, your employees will emerge equipped with the tools and techniques necessary to cultivate a critical mindset and embrace curiosity in problem solving, empowering them to tackle challenges with confidence and creativity.
