Summary:

Whether working with clients or colleagues, having good problem-solving skills enhance collaboration and team work. Working together as a team can enhance work satisfaction, increase productivity, provide support and improve personal connections. Instead of trying to solve problems once they have occurred, problem-solving models provide a framework to tackle problems as they arise. In this training, you will see a problem unfolding and have the opportunity to view and practice problem-solving skills.
The training consists of a series of short videos with quiz questions and coaching on problem solving skills, a short quiz and an evaluation.
