Business Management Skills: Problem Solving, Decision Making and MoreWhat makes this course different? This course combines a concept from neuroscience (Type-2 Thinking) with one from psychology (Parallel Thinking) to create the HST Model. People work together to assemble a solution rather than debating different points of view. At the end of this course, you will be able to use five steps to solve just about every management problem, including resolving conflicts and making optimal decisions. The person who figures out how to harness the collective genius of his or her organization is going to blow the competition away. Walter Wriston, former Chair, Citicorp. This course will help you blow the competition away. Taking this course will be like turning on a light in a dark room. Decisions will be logical and correct. Problems will become opportunities. Conflicts will become win-win. This will happen because you will be able to overcome your brains natural tendency for speed over accuracy. Harnessing the Speed of Thought, a five-step process, slows the brain, focuses it, and enables groups to work together better than ever before. You guide the five-step process. Everyone contributes at the right time in the right way. The outcome is the best it can be. Bottom line? Taking this course will enable you to effectively solve complex problems and resolve seemingly impossible conflicts. One of my clients saved his company 30 million dollars over 15 years at a cost of $1 (he paid for my coffee at Starbucks). Another saved a distressed 30-year marriage. Over the past 40 years, by using the five-step Harnessing the Speed of Thought (HST) model, businesses have flourished, lives have been saved and careers soared.

Step into a thousand situations and know exactly what to do. You will increase happiness, contentment, productivity and success for you and those around you, all from taking this one courseI created HST after completing my doctoral dissertation in 1973. The model was first used with doctors to help patients better understand and follow their treatment plans.
