SUMMARY:Critical Thinking\, Problem Solving and Decision Making Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nWe are continuously confronted with problems that
  require us to make decisions. Most decisions are reached without requiring
  any complex decision-making process: We're hungry? We decide to eat. Some 
 problems are more complex\, like deciding how to prioritize our work or und
 erstanding why a process failed and deciding what to do about it\; these re
 quire a rational approach to problem-solving. Often\, things get even more 
 complicated\, or our decisions could have an important impact on our lives\
 , careers\, or the lives of those around us. That is where we must have the
  ability to think critically and ensure there is no flaw in our logic. At o
 ther times\, the problem is so unusual that it defies rational and critical
  thinking\; these are the times when creative problem-solving becomes an in
 valuable tool.\nIn this course\, we will cover all these important thinking
  approaches. After understanding the thinking mechanisms\, we will provide 
 you with methods and tools that you will practice during the sessions\, whi
 ch can help you at work or in life\, from the most mundane situations to th
 e most difficult or unusual ones.\nCourse Objectives\n\nBuild and expand de
