Description

The presence of people guarantees two things: problems will arise, but so too will potential. For over 30 years, this principle has been the foundation of Dr Neil Thompson’s work, dedicated to helping individuals and organizations tackle problems while simultaneously fulfilling their maximum potential. In this authoritative course, Dr Thompson leverages that extensive experience in problem solving in a variety of settings to offer helpful, practical guidance on effectively rising to the challenges that inevitably arise when people come together in a workplace or community setting.

This course offers an invaluable basis for developing your knowledge, skills, and confidence in the entire problem lifecycle: proactively preventing problems where possible, tackling them head-on when they do occur, and effectively dealing with the aftermath. Crucially, the course provides a deep foundation for understanding how a creative approach to problem-solving is exceptionally effective. Being creative opens up a much wider and more powerful repertoire of problem solving tools, significantly increasing your chances of making a positive, transformative difference. Simply ignoring problems or hoping they will go away is a highly risky strategy, often costly in both human and financial terms. Investing time to master creative problem solving is therefore a worthwhile and necessary commitment to personal and organizational success.

Who this course is for:

  • Managers, HR professionals and a wide range of other professionals whose work involves an element of problem solving. It will also be of value to anyone with an interest in problem solving.
