A few days to go through what people experience in years with a company

Challenge yourself and embark on a fascinating journey of discovery
Starting from a real case and analysing it in depth, you will be presented with and solve problems, taking on your own decision responsibilities. This is a way to grow quickly, practically and effectively.
A strategic approach to problem solving, to put yourself to the test with real situations
- analysing and defining the situation;
- structuring and prioritising the problem, using logic trees, issue analysis and pyramid thinking;
- synthesising appropriate conclusions and recommendations to different stakeholders
How to take responsibility for your actions and decisions in front of a group: choosing, arguing, presenting
Participants will experience and learn how to leverage on a structured decision-making process, focusing on how to choose between comparable alternatives.
The redundancy of information on the case will allow for the use of techniques on how to collect information, select pieces of it and prioritise.
In the final part of the programme, participants will be asked to synthesise the solutions into memorable messages and to present them to a tough audience in an effective way.
Teamwork: a valuable resource to learn independent decision making
80% of the programme will have participants working in groups, experiencing the challenges and advantages of teamwork and learning relevant high-performance techniques on the field.
