It\u2019s no secret that the average professional spends the bulk of their day in meetings and their inbox. This amount of communication, of course, is somewhat necessary, but it can\u2019t be done at the expense of structured thinking: we need time to think creatively (i.e. expanding the possibilities), and to think critically (i.e. reducing the possibilities into meaningful action).<\/p>\n
While ESD Simulation primarily delivers technical courses, non-technical courses, like our course on Critical Thinking<\/a>, are becoming increasingly important as our world (and the problems we need to solve) become increasingly complex.<\/p>\n The problem at hand:<\/strong><\/p>\n Well planned operations should be proactive, not reactive. Finding answers should start with establishing the facts and doing analysis, and they should end with communication. What are the facts? How do we identify the assumptions we are making that may not be correct? Who has done the analysis? How do we recognize that we have tunnel vision and are not seeing the bigger picture?<\/p>\n
