How do
experts solve complex business problems in ambiguous conditions?
Business is all about problem solving: "Profits are down", "We are
losing market share!", ...
What are the root causes of these problems and what can we do to solve
them? Management consultants are trained to parachute into an unknown
business environment and identify the root causes of some of the most
complex problems companies face, and provide solutions, very often in a
very short amount of time. But how do they do it?
This workshop provides an insight on some of the techniques, tools and
frameworks that top tier management consulting firms use to address
their clients business issues. At the end you are expected to be able
to apply the same set of techniques to your business problems. You will
learn about fact based structured problem solving, efficient analysis
and solution finding and finally on effective ways of communicating the
situation and solution and presentation skills, using pyramid principle
in: defining and structuring the problem
defining types of required analyzes
