Strategy, Advanced Thinking and Decision-making Skills

This is a thinking and decision-making workshop geared toward mineral explorers, mining geoscientists and management. It will cover day-to-day decisions to strategic decision-making.

A defining skill for any executive is good decision making. It is an essential for management and leadership of every organisation at every level. Making, sustaining, rejecting and changing decisions all come with inherent risks to both the organisation – and the reputation of the executive.

But according to a global survey, conducted by McKinsey & Co. in 2019, only 20% of respondents said their organisations excel at decision making.

Moreover, there was no correlation between prolonged thorough decision-making processes and winning outcomes.  Winning leaders and their teams make good decisions fast, then execute plans rapidly .

Key Learning Outcomes:

  • Analytical, critical, divergent and parallel thinking for lifelong improvement in decision-making
  • Using reflection and memory tools for learning
  • Thinking skills that companies need their people to have
  • Thinking skills for a VUCA world: system thinking, design thinking, systems innovation
  • Match the right technique to the problem
  • Apply cures for groupthink, bias and dogma
  • Develop the skills and confidence to be decisive – and to sell your decisions to stakeholders
  • Agile decision-making and use of AI
