Capability Academy

Critical Thinking

An abstract illustration of swirls.

A role-specific academy that empowers learners to:

  • Think more deliberately to better evaluate and distill information.
  • Strengthen problem-solving with strategies and behaviors that mitigate biases.
  • Elevate communication of the thinking process behind conclusions and decisions shared with others.

What’s Holding Your Teams Back?

Do your teams struggle to:

  • Pause before jumping to a solution?
  • Explain the “why” behind a decision or line of thinking?
  • Appropriately question others’ requests or conclusions?
  • Effectively talk through decisions without becoming emotional?
  • Be innovative?

If they struggle with any of these, they may have a gap in their critical thinking capabilities. Many teams struggle with this, limiting their effectiveness. But there is a solution.

Why a Critical Thinking Academy?

Critical thinking empowers learners to question, innovate, and build confidence. It’s a process of assessing the validity of conclusions to reduce biases.

The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report lists critical thinking as a top 10 growing “in demand” skill for the coming years.

For nearly every role in the biopharma industry, critical thinking is essential to success. It helps professionals more effectively solve problems, navigate complexity, and achieve business objectives.
