develop advanced analytical skills
Develop structured problem solving, critical thinking, decision analysis and complex problem resolution.
Compare personalized proposals from the best providers and find the ideal training path for your team.
Why Problem Solving and Critical Thinking are strategic competencies
In VUCA contexts (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous), knowing how to analyze problems, evaluate alternatives and find creative solutions makes the difference between suffering change and driving it.
Investing in problem solving training means equipping the team with structured methods (design thinking, root cause analysis, decision matrix) to transform challenges into opportunities and continuously improve processes and results.
Who this training path is for
Managers and Team Leaders who must make complex strategic decisions under pressure
Project Managers who handle unforeseen events and need rapid problem solving
Operational professionals who face daily technical and organizational problems
Cross-functional teams who must collaborate on innovative solutions
Companies in transformation that want to develop analytical culture and continuous improvement
Concrete benefits for your company
Faster and more informed decisions
Structured methods to analyze problems, evaluate options and decide with data
Reduced errors and rework
Root cause analysis to solve problems at the root, not just symptoms
Innovation and continuous improvement
Creative and lateral thinking to generate original solutions and improve processes

Frequently Asked Questions - Problem Solving and Critical Thinking
What are the most effective problem solving methods to learn?
Core methods: Design Thinking, Root Cause Analysis (5 Whys, Ishikawa), SWOT, Decision Matrix, Six Thinking Hats and A3. Cover analysis, ideation, choice and action plan.
How to develop critical thinking in the team?
Key practices: questioning culture, bias awareness, diverse perspectives, data‑based decisions and short rituals (retrospectives, pre/post‑mortem).
What practical tools to use for structured problem solving?
Tools: decision templates (matrix, SWOT), visual thinking (maps, Ishikawa), facilitation (Liberating Structures), A3 and anti‑bias checklist. Add metrics to track impact.
How to tackle complex problems without obvious solution?
Approach: reframe, decompose, diverge‑converge, small prototypes and stakeholder alignment. Iterate and learn fast.
What's the difference between reactive and proactive problem solving?
Reactive: fixes symptoms. Proactive: prevents with root‑cause, risk assessment and contingency plans. Use pre/post‑mortem and early indicators.
How to measure improvement of problem solving skills in the team?
Measure: resolution time, % first‑time fix, rework costs, solutions implemented. Assess skills via tests and 360 feedback; review trends quarterly.
