Can We Actually Teach Someone to Think?

“We need people who can think critically.” It’s on every leader’s wish list. But can a course actually deliver that, or are we promising something training can’t do?

“We need people who can think critically.” It’s on every leader’s wish list. But can a course actually deliver that, or are we promising something training can’t do?

Critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making keep topping the lists of skills organizations say they need most. With AI producing answers in seconds, the ability to question those answers, weigh the options, and make a sound judgment call matters more than ever. Still, thinking skills are tricky to design for and even trickier to see in action. It’s time to separate what works from wishful thinking.

What We Will Discuss

  • What critical thinking actually looks like on the job, and why it’s so hard to pin down
  • Design approaches that build judgment, such as scenarios, case studies, and practice with real decisions
  • Why a one-time workshop rarely changes how people think
  • How AI changes the picture, for better and for worse

Come Ready to Contribute: Share what has worked for you, what has flopped, and the one thinking skill you wish more people had.
