Real problems, real solutions

Work isn’t short on curveballs. 

Maybe it’s a customer fire that needs some putting out, or maybe it’s a process that keeps jamming up like a printer on a bad Monday morning. 

Or sometimes it’s just a classic case of “too many cooks, and not enough consensus.” 

But no matter what’s clogging up the flow, this problem-solving and decision-making training course will help teams (like yours) get unstuck.

This isn’t about reading a textbook or even slogging through theory that no one remembers by next week. Instead, it’s about building the kind of everyday thinking skills that will keep projects on track, your teams aligned, and all decisions in the process grounded in reality. 

As a result, your employees will walk away knowing how to diagnose a problem and how to more effectively weigh their options. This way they can choose a new direction with clarity . . . and maybe even a little swagger.

Flexible training delivery options

Choose the format that works best for your organization’s needs and learning preferences.

eLearning modules

Quick, interactive, and full of “yep, been there” scenarios, our eLearning modules were precisely made for learners who want skills that they can apply before their next meeting. 

This problem-solving training for employees covers all the basics and then some, from things like identifying the real issue to picking a plan that actually works. It’s flexible, it’s easy to deploy, and yes, it’s fully ready to plug into your LMS.

Instructor-led workshops

For teams who thrive on discussion and shared learning, our live workshops bring people together to explore real decision-making in action. 

Regardless of whether it’s delivered virtually or in-person, these sessions go far beyond lectures with real-time challenges and group problem-solving, as well as expert facilitation. This is perfect for team offsites, leadership development days, or for whenever a live spark is just needed to kickstart some serious thinking.
