Strategic thinking is defined as the process of assessing, viewing, and creating the future through critical thinking skills. It involves developing a set of critical skills to arrive at decisions related to work or personal life. Some key aspects of strategic thinking include being open-minded, challenging conventional thinking, having a vision beyond the present, thinking broadly, and looking beyond one's current perspective. When making strategic decisions, it is important to focus on goals, weigh risks and rewards, consider both intuition and facts, build flexibility, establish priorities, and learn from mistakes. Developing strategic thinking requires tools like understanding strengths and weaknesses, identifying roadblocks, protecting thinking time, questioning strategies, and communicating plans clearly. Critical and creative skills like idea generation

Design is being reinvented. Be it Brand, Product, Digital, Spacial - the core discipline of advancing any of these has, and is continuing to be, transformed. Ironically, it’s the people with the valued experience of longevity in their design careers that often get bewildered by the new, multiple-front process of delivering a designed outcome. Those once-warm waters suddenly turn into rapid torrents of murky uncertainties, with overlapping disciplines, new specialists and technology-based media popping up seemingly at random. I have had to learn how to adapt and change to this new playground. These are some key mindsets that I convey to juniors and seniors designers. As presented on UXIndia2016

Design Thinking-Solution based approach to problem solvingPradeep Patel, PMP®
Design is not about how it looks rather it is more about how it works. How design thinking is applied to solve complex problems.

Centre for Entrepreneurship (C4E) of the University of Cyprus and Berklee Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship (ICE) present the:
Why are some designs better than others, and what can you do about it? (The workshop)
If you've ever described a poster as heavy, a website as dense, an app as clumsy or an object as whimsical, you probably already know the answer. Recent psychology research is showing that experiential metaphors are key emotional drivers that impact our perception of the world. Applying these findings to design confirms what designers have learned throughout their careers—good design is subconscious first and rational second. Michael will share stories from this research and the IDEO portfolio then share tools to help you be more consciously subconscious.

During the Define stage, you put together the information you have created and gathered during the Empathise stage. This is where you will analyse your observations and synthesise them in order to define the core problems that you and your team have identified up to this point. You should seek to define the problem as a problem statement in a human-centred manner.
Design thinking is a problem solving process geared for ambiguous situations. There are four principles of design thinking: empathize, visualize, co-create and iterate. This presentation gives tips and techniques for empathizing includes how to interview and how to analyze research data.

I attempt to generalise Jeannette Wing's notion of "Computational thinking" (ACM 2006) to include attempting to understand much biological information processing, and try to show the necessity for educators to do deep computational thinking if they wish to facilitate processes of learning.
Artificial Intelligence is branch of computer science concerned with the study and creation of computer system that exhibits some form of intelligence.
Workshop on How to Think Strategically.
We teach brand leaders to think strategically. We show them how to ask the right questions before seeing solutions, how to map out a range of decision trees that intersect and connect by imagining how events will play out. We take them through the 7 elements of good strategy: vision, opportunity, focus, speed, early win, leverage and gateway. We look at strategy from a competitive position, consumer connectivity, core strength and situational
Decision-making is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several possible alternative options. It could be either rational or irrational. The decision-making process is a reasoning process based on assumptions of values, preferences and beliefs of the decision-maker.[1] Every decision-making process produces a final choice, which may or may not prompt action.
Decision-making is an important leadership skill because it helps managers. Effective decisions can save time and propel work projects forward, increasing employee productivity.

Various researches have shown that the majority of organizations, especially in the developing countries, have more of operational thinking rather than strategic thinking at the core of its management approach. Strategy has become an overused and at the same time, misused world in management world where we take it as obvious statement for something important we say about our management and business.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
