Executive Certificate
Problem Solving and Decision Making
A few days to go through what people experience in years with a company

This course focuses on business skills that are relevant for any job, in any industry and in any organisation. Independent from their working experience, “Problem Solving & Decision Making” will provide valuable input to the participants’ existing foundation for future growth in their professional careers.

PSDM aims to support the learning of a structured work method so that participants can:

  • learn how to solve problems independently
  • experience how to work in teams
  • get the fundamentals of finance
  • practise decision-making techniques and tools
  • conduct interviews
  • structure presentations
  • develop communication skills

Challenge yourself and embark on a fascinating journey of discovery

Starting from a real case and analysing it in depth, you will be presented with and solve problems, taking on your own decision responsibilities. This is a way to grow quickly, practically and effectively.

A strategic approach to problem solving, to put yourself to the test with real situations


  • analysing and defining the situation;
  • structuring and prioritising the problem, using logic trees, issue analysis and pyramid thinking;
  • synthesising appropriate conclusions and recommendations to different stakeholders

How to take responsibility for your actions and decisions in front of a group: choosing, arguing, presenting


Participants will experience and learn how to leverage on a structured decision-making process, focusing on how to choose between comparable alternatives.

The redundancy of information on the case will allow for the use of techniques on how to collect information, select pieces of it and prioritise.

In the final part of the programme, participants will be asked to synthesise the solutions into memorable messages and to present them to a tough audience in an effective way.

Teamwork: a valuable resource to learn independent decision making

80% of the programme will have participants working in groups, experiencing the challenges and advantages of teamwork and learning relevant high-performance techniques on the field.
