The British Academy for Training and Development offers the Effective Decision Making and Problem Solving Course. The course will start concerning decision-making, so that attendees understand well why such importance is placed on it for every organisation's success. Attendees will learn how to analyse problems sufficiently to know their possible root causes, and to compare and contrast alternative solutions. Another key aspect of course delivery will be critical thinking techniques, which form the backbone of sound logical reasoning as well as an enabling condition for minimising bias for better decision making. It is also expected that courses will allow attendees to develop innovative and efficient methods of creative problem solving. Another area where the course will lay a stringent focus is prioritisation methods, for example in the use of the Eisenhower Matrix, allowing attendees to view tasks across a scale of importance. It is also about risk assessment and evaluation, which takes the attendees through anticipating and mitigating potential challenges.

Since collaborative decision making is an essential component of modern decision making, the course will cover collaborative decision making techniques and methods for encouraging team input and solving problems collectively. It also includes the practical development of action plans for implementing decisions and monitoring their impacts.

By the end of this course, professionals will be equipped with tools and techniques required for making sure tailored and powerful decision making alongside speedy and effective solve problems that contribute overall to the success of their organisations.
