Analytical Thinking Skills Customizable Courseware
Organize, Assess, and Communicate Data for Effective Decision Making
According to a study published in the Harvard Business Review, the best decision makers are "informed skeptics" who possess strong analytical skills. However, only 38% of employees fall into this category.
Analytical thinking, or the ability to systematically and logically work through an issue, focuses on using evidence as the basis for decision making. Judgments based on hard data are proven to be more accurate than those based on individual experience.
Analytical Thinking Skills helps participants develop the ability to systematically and logically work through issues by following a six-step process that begins with forming the issue into a question that can be answered. They then learn how to research and isolate the highest quality data needed to answer that question and analyze the data gathered in order to come to a verifiable conclusion or hypothesis that shows cause and effect. The last half focuses on clearly communicating the analysis.

Training Companies Are Not Eligible
The RTL may not be purchased by consultants or training providers intending to use the content to train other organizations.
