About the Course
Leaders face growing decision complexity as information volume, stakeholder expectations and AI-generated analysis all increase simultaneously. Human-centric leadership practice is consistently linked to stronger decision-making quality, underscoring critical thinking as a durable leadership capability rather than a soft skill.
This programme builds structured critical-thinking and decision-making capability: cognitive-bias recognition, structured problem-diagnosis techniques, decision frameworks under uncertainty, and the disciplined use of AI-generated analysis as an input to, not a replacement for, human judgement.
Participants leave with a personal decision-making framework and a practised structured-decision case, ready to apply immediately to complex, ambiguous decisions in their own role.
Target Participants
Senior and middle managers, Strategy and planning professionals, Project and programme managers, Policy analysts and advisors, and Professionals in high-ambiguity decision roles.
What You Will Learn
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Apply structured problem-diagnosis techniques to complex issues.
- Recognize and mitigate common cognitive biases in decisions.
- Apply decision-making frameworks under uncertainty.
- Evaluate AI-generated analysis critically within decisions.
- Facilitate group decision-making processes.
- Build a personal decision-making framework.
