Course Overview
The organisation's reputation as an employer is built or lost through critical and analytical thinking. Policy on analytical thinking is judged by how it is applied in the difficult cases, not the easy ones. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this area of people management and development and revise it on evidence. What blocks progress on critical and analytical thinking is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The most reliable predictor of sound this aspect of people management and development is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The programme takes participants through analytical thinking end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a people policy for critical and analytical thinking as they go. It is written for people who have to make analytical thinking work with the resources they already have. The programme closes with an action plan for the practice within people management and development that each participant writes for their own organisation.
