Learn problem solving skills, by defining and analysing the real problem and develop and implement a solution

Introduction

We are all faced with problems and have to make decisions on a daily basis. To solve problems effectively, we need to drill down through the symptoms to the underlying causes. Problem-solving involves both analytical and creative skills.

This one day program allows participants to learn the fundamentals of problem-solving skills, which include defining the root problem, analyzing the problem, selecting and developing a solution as well as evaluating the implemented solution.

Participants will have the opportunity to apply the techniques learn to real problems which can be applied on their job.

(Face-to-face training has resumed with safe distancing and precautionary measures undertaken at our hotel venues which are certified SG Clean. We will continue to adopt a small class size for all our courses)
