Strategic Thinking for Real Life
Stop solving the same problem every quarter.
We live in an era that worships speed and celebrates the confident answer. Even when it's wrong.
Brilliant, experienced professionals still waste money, diminish team morale, and repeat the same disasters because they solve the symptom they can see instead of the root cause they can't.
This is a 3-hour live-fire decision workshop where you gain the exact tools the world's best leaders use to make high-stakes calls. Tools so effective you'll wonder how you ever decided anything without them.
You'll learn to drill through layers of noise with the 5 Whys and find the root cause of any problem. You'll identify hidden assumptions before they sabotage your solution. You'll turn subjective debates into objective wins with a decision matrix. And you'll learn to move any solution from idea to successful completion.
What You Will Learn:
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:
- Apply the 5 Whys Technique to trace emotional or surface-level complaints down to their systemic root causes
- Use the RED Model to distinguish between what we feel and what we know
- Utilize a decision matrix to score competing solutions, turning opinions into data-backed strategy
- Move a solution from a good idea to a concrete implementation plan with risk mitigation using the IDEAL framework
