Description:
As HR professionals, we need to work with adults who are productive, balanced members of the workforce. In our profession, Ethics and Critical Thinking are core skills – but can they actually be taught to adults? In this presentation, we will cover new challenges and how they apply to our world, and then we will share advanced methods for training others in these issues.
Key learnings include:
- The new world of ethics and Critical Thinking and how organizational effectiveness is measured
- The concept of Unconscious Bias and how it applies to Ethics
- A review of DeBono’s Six Hats Thinking Methods
- How to pinpoint and make sense of the most relevant data in a situation
- How to use advanced adult learning methods to transfer wisdom and change behaviors.
This will be a strategic session, offering the view from 35,000 feet with occasional dips to ground level. Participants will learn specific competencies needed on to stay relevant, and some surprising truths about the future of Human Capital.
