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 course, you can book on-demand coaching sessions with Bill Dettmer or Thorsteinn Siglaugsson.
In this short video Bill summarizes the Logical Thinking Process and the logic tools used to solve complex system-level problems.
The LTP course will be composed of four 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 with 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 excercises 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 will be able to use both manual pen-and-Post•it® notes and a software program designed to render logic trees.
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.
