Decision-Making And Problem-Solving For Business: A Practical Guide (Strategic)

Albert Einstein, a man known for his wisdom, was correct when he said, "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."The first step on the journey to solving these problems has to be made in your head. That is, you must examine and modify the way you think about problems today if you want to achieve success in the future.It's hard to overestimate the power of effective thinking. Every thought you have today is in some way determining your future.The goal of this course is to give you the tools necessary to turn yourself into a mental superhero. This change won't happen quickly. But with time and effort, you'll be able to solve problems you once found almost impossible. In this course, you'll learn to:¥ think effectively about mental shortcuts,¥ overcome biases and flawed assumptions,¥ refine your problem-solving mind-set and decision-making style,¥ cultivate the right state of mind.Thomas Watson was chairman of IBM in 1943 when he said, "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."Watson certainly wasn't the only person to have ever made an inaccurate assumption about a business problem. What is an assumption? It's any facet of a business problem that you take for granted or assume to be true without calling it into question.Roughly seven out of ten new businesses fail within three years. That failure rate often hinges directly on faulty business assumptions. Examine your assumptions and you're more likely to beat the odds.Just as businesses receive benefits when employees examine their assumptions about given business problems, you as an individual reap personal rewards.
