Definitely Maybe (Decision Making) – 19 November from 1pm to 2:30pm
The aim of the session is to understand what problem solving is, how to approach a decision and think outside the box to reach a decision. You’ll be working on teams and individually to improve your problem-solving and decision-making skills by thinking creatively and identifying individual problem-solving types.
