Critical Thinking & Decision Making for Business

Analyze situations by evaluating information to distinguish true and useful from fake and useless, and actively seek data to make informed, better decisions.

Apply logic as the core of critical thinking to derive conclusions from facts and decide the best actions, acknowledging that reasoning improves daily decisions.

Explore the benefits of critical thinking, including clearer reasoning, better persuasion, and improved communication, through analysis, open-mindedness, and emotional intelligence for audience-adaptive dialogue.

Explore non linear thinking by distinguishing symptoms from root causes, conducting experiments to isolate issues, and guiding quick, accurate fixes for problems like stomach pain, computer faults, or stress.

learn to recognize jumping to conclusions as the opposite of critical thinking and practice analyzing a problem before acting, rather than rushing to costly I.T. repairs.

Assess source credibility by examining the author and motives, recognizing promotional reports that downplay risks, and identify trustworthy sources from non-profit and public institutions like WHO and UN.

Apply checks: timing up to date, relevance, and author clarity, to Facebook posts tagged 'credit original'. Show that credible sources reveal the original author and publishing date.

ask the right questions at the right time to verify a sales decline, identify which sales are affected, investigate root causes, and use better information to guide decisions.
