Give the answer a proper hearing.

What we work on

Make your starting point clear. Check the evidence. Build a case. Turn the decision into a plan you can explain.

• Start with your own thinking. Use the Sketch and Hybrid Mapping to make your intentions and assumptions visible.
• Give confidence a check. Use Evidence Tests and Columbo and Matlock Questions to identify what needs examining.
• Build a case people can follow. Use CEEL and Argumentation Strategy to connect a recommendation to reasons and evidence.
• Turn purpose into a plan. Use the Strategic Thinking Pyramid and Five Fingers to connect goals, actions and the explanation of your proposal.
• Keep valued skills in use. Decide which abilities your team wants to practise as assistance becomes more capable.

Who it is for

Leadership teams, professional services, analysts, communication teams, HR and learning teams.

Format

From a 60-minute lecture to a training programme over several days, in person or online. Our senior lecturers at the Academy of Critical Thinking (AKM) tailor the work to your team and its needs.

What we practise

Your team probably has no shortage of AI answers. The useful question is what happens next: who examines the reasoning, connects it to the actual problem and takes responsibility for the decision?

Bring a proposal, a difficult decision or an AI answer that looks suspiciously perfect. We will work through it together and practise ways to ask better questions, test the reasoning and make a choice you can explain.
