Course objectives
This course enables students to apply structured analytical techniques to overcome cognitive limitations and instinctive mental traits in decision-making and business decision making. If we want to solve problems, either individual or nation-wide, we need to learn how to identify and break down restrictive mental circuits and give full and serious attention to alternative solutions. In other words, we must learn to be open to new insights. It should be noted that structuring is not a substitute for thinking but a means that allows and empowers thinking.
