Workshop objectives

This Workshop relates to the definition of entrepreneurship and the principles of decision-making strategies

lm and rational way, and this is valuable in every work context and in life itself

Formulating a budget, setting a goal, or controlling one’s own actions and those of co-workers involves the need to decide and implies the ability to devise solutions.

To decide means to determine, to fix, to choose, responsibly, among several aspects; in other words, it implies the ability to pose the problem correctly and follow rules to solve it. Deciding is a skill, but more importantly, it implies a process of taking responsibility.

Almost everyone is able to see the problem when it arises. Very few, on the other hand, perceive the problem before it occurs. This is the discriminator between the plus-value and the minus-value of those who, for example, lead and thus are called upon to make decisions, and take responsibility. Indeed, it is said that doing the best possible with what is imperfect is not the manager’s problem but his task.

This workshop involves learners and participants at working in small groups and peer learning.

A good challenge should be narrow enough to lead to concrete solutions, but broad enough to remain open to different possibilities for unlocking them, considering the goals and constraints that need to be stated while finding workable solutions.

In order to maximize workshop effectiveness and to understand the usefulness of the techniques and tools presented, the course offers several exercises and simulations on real-life situations. The ability to make decisions is closely related to the problem-solving process, but it requires additional personal aptitudes. Once a situation has been broken down, analyzed, decoded, and solutions found, deciding means having the ability to act and take responsibility for that decision. These complex skills need to be adequately trained and coached in order to be put into action.
