Download Program’s Schedule

It is not too bold to say that problem solving is one of the main abilities of a leader. In this context, it becomes critical for current leaders to enhance their problem solving skills immediately in order to maintain the continuity of leadership and to keep companies viable from generation to generation.

As such, the present management development program provides a framework for problem solving, whereby both managers and organisations can analyse and review their respective activities. Moreover, it introduces the concept of Six Sigma as a powerful business strategy that can yield a dramatic reduction in defects, mistakes, or failures in business processes.

Contents:

• Leadership, management, and problem solving.
• Problem structuring: Setting up problem-solving teams.
• Surfacing multiple issues.
• Linking and prioritizing multiple issues.
• Six Sigma: Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control.
