Every day, businesses encounter challenges that demand effective solutions—whether these are small daily issues or large, complex problems that require a coordinated team effort to analyze, solve, and ensure they remain resolved. As an entrepreneur, manager, or employee, you will often find yourself at the forefront of problem resolution, tasked with not only addressing immediate issues but also preventing future occurrences.
In this comprehensive online course, you will learn to refine your logical thinking and adopt a systematic approach to problem solving, moving beyond intuition to make well-informed, calculated decisions. The course emphasizes the importance of creativity in problem solving—not just for innovative fixes but also for pioneering new ideas and improving your business environment.

From distinguishing between different types of problems and understanding their origins to applying complex analytical and creative thinking techniques, this course covers essential strategies to address and solve issues effectively. You will explore methods such as the Five Problem Solving Steps, the SWOT Analysis, and Edward De Bono’s 6 Thinking Hats among others, to develop a versatile approach to tackle challenges.
By the end of this course, you will not only be adept at solving problems but also capable of leveraging these challenges as opportunities for innovation and leadership.
