Even before COVID-19, we have seen disruptions in businesses and organizations. More automation, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, and robotics were creating shifts in the nature of work. Experts say that the pandemic accelerated the great reset of the workplace.
Deloitte Consulting, McKinsey & Company, and The Economic Global Forum even conducted studies showing that one of the pressing and top skills required by workers, frontline leaders, and leaders is critical thinking. The need for critical thinking in employees and leaders is driven by the uncertainties and the increasing unknown factors in business environments. Coupled with the growing remote work and the rapid change in emotional sentiments of employees and customers, modern workers and leaders need to be thinking about how to quickly fix, solve, and improve work by relying on their creativity and capacities.
In this session, you will learn how to design and implement learning initiatives and programs that raise the capacity of workers and leaders to critically think, fix, solve, and improve work.

However, the ideas are applicable to in-person and webinar exercises.
