Go in a Recruit, Emerge a Problem-Solving Master
The best way to learn is by doing – that’s the idea behind Critical Thinking Boot Camp, a two-day immersion into critical thinking. Participants, from managers to senior-level executives, learn critical thinking while solving actual, ongoing workplace problems.
And Boot Camp yields an immediate high return on investment – it’s specifically designed to help participants apply their new critical thinking skills in the workplace to make a positive impact on the bottom line.
Solve Real Problems
What makes Critical Thinking Boot Camp so powerful is that the training is not limited to the intensive workshop. The three-phase program begins beforehand, as participants take the Watson-Glaser™ II critical thinking assessment, and meet with their managers to identify the actual workplace problems to be solved.
In the second phase—the workshop itself—participants learn how to think critically as they examine the problem and develop a course of action. The third phase takes place a month later, as instructors follow up with participants and their managers with advice and support.
Benefits to Your Organization
The Critical Thinking Boot Camp, offered by Executive Development Associates (EDA) in partnership with Pearson – and powered by the Watson-Glaser II – builds lasting problem-solving skills, and a culture of critical thinking that translates directly to an organization’s bottom line. Organizations that host a workshop are able to:
- Demonstrate how improved critical thinking skills lead to more effective problem-solving, well reasoned decisions, improved strategic thinking, and better planning and implementation
- Accomplish tangible, business-related work during training
- Immediately show a return on training dollars invested
- Build an organizational culture that rewards critical thinking
