THIS COURSE IS SFC-ELIGIBLE
Course Description
Your boss demands you to reduce losses and improve sales by 10%. Your palms start sweating. You’re not even sure where to begin. If you succeed, all’s good. If you don’t… that would be your job on the line.
When it comes to workplace problems, the line between sucess and failure can be thin. That’s why having strong problem-solving skills is essential whether you are a manager, team leader or employee.
This course provides you with the skills to identify workplace problems that are hindering work process and personal effectiveness. Learn how to design and shortlist viable solutions using problem solving approaches. Understand the importance of testing and modifying your solutions until the problems are absolutely resolved.
