Learn how to solve problems better

When faced with a strategic challenge, executives often treat the symptoms of the problem rather than the underlying pain. To avoid this trap, it is important to go beyond the surface characteristics of the problem to identify the root causes of the issue. What you need is a process that covers all necessary bases at a level of detail commensurate for the problem at hand. We have identified a simple, three-step process to get to the heart of complex problems and enable you to make better decisions. Give it a try.
Challenge your own decision-making
Great decisions come with practice, and it’s important to try a variety of techniques to make good decisions. One such method is Edward de Bono’s “Six Thinking Hats.” This exercise aims to help you move beyond your normal frame of thought and look at things from a number of different perspectives. This can be a critical factor in honing your decision-making skills. Learn the steps here.
