_Creativity
and critical thinking play a far greater role in the success of
American business than they ever have before. The technical jobs
which are being exported to other continents are being replaced
by jobs that require workers to be creative, innovative, and mentally
agile.
_ Fostering
critical thinking is probably the most important enhancement a company
can introduce to insure that its workforce on top of its game. There
are three reasons for this. First, critical thinking gets people
thinking carefully and thoroughly. It asks them to look at an idea,
to play with it, from a plethora of perspectives. Critical thinking
allows people to really understand an idea in a deep, multi-dimensional
way. Innovations that are based on deep understanding are innovations
that will work on many, many levels.
_The
second reason fostering critical thinking in the workplace is so
important is that it actually creates a container where agile and
creative thinking are the norm. In other words, where critical thinking
is encouraged, the workforce actually becomes smarter, more intelligent.
They work smarter. They think smarter. They are smarter.
_ Lastly,
critical thinking breeds creative thinking and creativity in general.
Creative thinking is a natural outcome of critical thinking, and
not vice versa. The more one knows, the more one can wonder. The
more one understands the inside of the box, the more one can see
and understand the outside of the box.
_ Our
modern world and global economy asks companies to think outside
the box. Institutionalizing critical thinking in the workplace is
a way of ensuring that outside-the-box thinking is a natural, and
useful, way of thinking.
_ We are
available for individual, group, and corporate instruction and critical
thinking guidance. We train individuals and groups to think critically,
so they can better think creatively. And we ask the questions that
will naturally lead to the best answers.
