• Engage stakeholders with a thought-out communication and execution plan.
How this training is different from others:
Most courses that are offered in the market are problem solving and decision making training that are short on two fronts:
• First, they invest relatively less time to stimulate the participants' critical thinking (CT) skills and quickly
jump to problem-solving techniques. The risk is that people are tasked to solve problems without
adequate foundation on correct thinking.
• Second, courses usually stop at participants arriving at solutions. The reality is that one must also
know how to sell those solutions to other stakeholders, especially senior management. Furthermore,
the problem does not disappear until the solution has been successfully implemented.
This is a CESB-Accredited Training Program under Board Resolution No. 1735 effective on March 12, 2024. It is intended to strengthen the following CES Core Competencies: Strategic and Critical Thinking, Driving Performance for Integrity and Service and Planning and Organizing for Greater Impact.
This is aligned with the learning and development requirement for career advancement of division chiefs and executives/ managerial positions in government and leadership skills required in the 21st Century civil servants.
