OBJECTIVES

Creative and Critical Thinking Skills are the most important technique when it involves Problem Solving And Decision Making at work.

 

Creative Thinking techniques are used to look at the issue from different and creative angles, using the right tools to assess it and develop a plan. The focus on creativity and innovation is important because most problems might require approaches that have never been created or tried before.

 

Whereas Critical Thinking is required when a crucial decision at work is made. It is mainly based on the capabilities of creative and critical thinkers whether to solve problems, optimise resources, budget and attaining corporate goals. Excellent customer relationships can also be attained by these 2 types of thinking which encourages staff to favour objective-logic over emotional responses.

 

By applying both thinking styles employees can evaluate information objectively, consider multiple perspectives, and analyse complex situations more effectively. It enables them to identify underlying assumptions, uncover biases, and assess the credibility and relevance of data and evidence.
