Role Of Critical Thinking In Organizational Development

Once you get started asking questions in a critical thinking exercise for one topic, you begin to address other unresolved topics.

I attended an instructor led leadership training session a couple of weeks ago.

A global study carried out by Macat in association with The University of Cambridge, discovered that 84% of senior managers believe their organization suffered a loss due to an absence of critical thinking in their workforce.

Concerns center on a recurring failure of many employees to analyse data correctly due to a focus on developing job-specific skills, rather than those that can be applied to new and changing situations.

In partnering with Macat we have a solution that not only objectively assesses the 6 Factors of Critical Thinking, but also provides bite-sized development to improve where needed. Macat Critical Thinking Assessments are delivered on a powerful, all-in-one critical thinking assessment and measurement tool, helping businesses recruit and develop a next generation of business leaders.
