SOLVING PROBLEMS WITH CRITICAL THINKING

 

SPCT program will enable participants to solve problems with a structured approach. They will be exposed to different tools that can be used for solving problems. They will also appreciate the role of critical thinking in generating possible alternative solutions. 

LEARNING OUTCOMES 

  • Participants will Learn to identify the real problem, breaking down a complex problem, generating possible solutions, selecting the best solution for resolving the problem 

  • Get exposure to several tools for every step of problem resolution 

  • Promotes logical approach to solve problems 

  • Improved problem-solving abilities resulting it faster resolution of issues
