You are a manager and you have to answer questions such as "what to change? What to change to? and How to cause the change?"
You need to overcome resistance to change and find beneficial solutions.
To do so, you need to gather the insight of your colleagues and communicate your ideas.
The Logical Thinking Process is nothing less than a broadly applicable, systems-level approach to policy analysis. The LTP will help you develop and implement solutions successfully.
We created this website to offer you everything you need to learn on-line the process to construct the logic trees of the Logical Thinking Process while simultaneously ensuring that the results are more logically sound and closer representations of reality.
At the end of the chapters, you will be able to schedule 45min coaching sessions either with Bill or Thorsteinn.
Taking into account our teacher's availability, seats for the course are limited.
Don't worry if you can't register for the full course. Additional seats will open up as students complete it.
Because so much of the course (6 hours per person) involves interacting with us personally in video conferences, it’s possible that individual participants may experience significant delays in scheduling face-to-face time with us after registering for the course.
In this short video, Bill summarizes the Logical Thinking Process and the logic tools used to solve complex system-level problems.
Lakshmi Subbarya, IT and Supply Chain expert talks about his experience of the LTP course and how he plans to use it to improve his consultancy services.
The LTP course will be composed of five parts:
1. Advance reading, by the participant, of the course textbook, The Logical Thinking Process: A Systems Approach to Continuous Improvement. The whole book need not be read in advance, unlike the in-person workshops. Instead, participants can read the appropriate chapters just before completing the online visual presentation.
2. Completing the online presentation. Unlike in the face-to-face workshops, participants can decide when they want to go through the visual presentation— night or day, weekdays or weekends. And they will be able to advance through the slides, back up and see a particular slide again (and hear the narration that goes with it), and, if they like, repeat the entire presentation a second or third time during the course.
3. Practical exercises to be completed after the participant has done the required reading and watched the online presentations.
4. Practical experience constructing LTP logic trees. This is where individual responsibility and persistence is most important. After the block of instruction on each logic tree (steps 1, 2 and 3, above), participants will commence constructing each logic tree on their own. As in the face-to-face workshops, these trees will be built to address a systemic problem of the participant’s own choosing. The individual learner can use both manual pen-and-Post•it® notes and a software program designed to render logic trees.
5. Personalized logic tree review and scrutiny. After constructing each logic tree, participants will schedule an online real-time meeting with the coaches. During the meeting, each participant will present their logic tree to the coaches one at a time until all five logic trees have been covered. We will offer constructive advice and reinforce the rules of logic in their tree construction.
The price for that flexibility is the responsibility and self-discipline of keeping yourself moving forward at the most expeditious pace you can until the online course is done. The LTP course will be partitioned into two major parts: the reading and learning presentations, and the practical experience in building trees.
