A complex problem has many separate pieces, and you are looking for a way to break them down first and then bring them back together. In this in-company training you learn to combine analytical and synthetic thinking. The training consists of 4 half-days, together 2 full days, for 6 to 12 participants, in Dutch or English.
You are stuck with a problem that keeps coming back. You have collected figures, emails, reports and opinions, and everything is open on your screen. But the more you see, the less you know where to start.
Then comes the question from your manager: what is actually the cause? You feel that you have the answer lying around somewhere, but you cannot get it in focus, and that makes you insecure.
Complicated issues require two types of thinking:
Analytical thinking helps you break down and understand problems. Synthetic thinking helps you combine ideas and information sources into new solutions. Together they make you stronger in complex problems.
Complex issues consist of many parts that interact with each other. Without a fixed way to break them down, we jump from detail to detail and come back to the same point.
That costs time and energy. Your analysis becomes a long explanation instead of a clear line, and colleagues drop out before you reach the core. Good ideas therefore remain loose fragments, and you doubt your own judgement.
It does not have to stay this way. Thinking is a skill you can train.
There are two movements that strengthen each other. Analytical thinking breaks the problem down into parts, synthetic thinking brings ideas and information together into something new.
Our coaches know that moment when everything is mixed up. In the training you practise both ways of thinking, on two full days, with exercises and case studies from your practice. You learn to structure a problem and present your solution clearly.
This way, a lot of information becomes a usable plan, and you can also explain your reasoning to others.
After the training you can:
The training consists of 4 half-days, divided over 2 full days, with exercises and case studies.
Every training is extended in the THOC Learning Space. Your material remains available and you get an AI Coach who knows the lesson.
We work in an experience-oriented way: you constantly work with the theory in practical exercises that resemble real situations.
Our coaches can give this training. Are you an HR employee, L&D manager, manager or business leader and do you want to organise this for your team? Tell us which issues are keeping you busy, and we will tailor the case studies to them.
For employees, managers and teams who want to tackle complex problems and present their solutions clearly. It is an in-company training, so we work with case studies and situations from your practice.
The training consists of 4 half-days, together 2 full days. The first day is about analytical thinking, the second about synthetic thinking, each with an introduction and applications.
With six to twelve participants per group, so that everyone can practise and think along about the case studies. The training is available in Dutch and in English. Let us know which language your team prefers.
Every training is tailored, so we work with a quote after we have heard your question. If you want to combine this with other skills, request a tailored training.
Analytical thinking breaks down a problem into parts to understand it. Synthetic thinking combines ideas and information sources into a new solution. In the training you first practise one, then the other, and bring them together.
