About the Course
The ability to solve problems and take decisions is a skill that will be in demand for the foreseeable future. This is because humans are often required to make decisions and take responsibility for them. If we want to be able to solve problems and take decisions, we need to know how to identify the root causes of these problems and decide on potential solutions. We also need the ability to generate and evaluate the pros and cons of these solutions before deciding on what actions we should take.
Learning Objectives
On completion of this unit, learner will acquire the techniques in problem-solving and decision-making, including proactively identifying root causes to a problem, generating and evaluating alternative solutions, making appropriate decisions, and taking responsibility for the decisions within own circle of influence.
