In the business world characterized by volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) challenges amidst brittle, anxious, non-linear, and incomprehensible (BANI) environments, the ability to prepare your workforce for the "unknowns" has never been more critical to maintaining a competitive edge.
This book equips learning and development professionals with the tools, methods, and frameworks necessary to design effective training programs that impart complex problem-solving (CPS) skills-skills that are essential for addressing high-order, multi-dimensional problems. Whether it's advanced analytical thinking, strategic decision-making, technical troubleshooting, or critical thinking, Training for Unknowns covers it all.
Divided into 15 insightful chapters, the book begins by exploring the unpredictable nature of today's business landscape. It then introduces powerful, problem-centered learning methodologies, including Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Scenario-Based Learning (SBL), Case-Based Learning (CBL), and Simulation-Based Learning (SmBL). Each approach is accompanied by real-world case studies, practical tips, and key considerations for implementation.
The book also dives deep into the cognitive science behind CPS, breaking down the mental processes required to solve complex, high-level problems. With advanced frameworks for integrating multiple learning methods, Training for Unknowns provides cutting-edge solutions for instructional designers, educators, and corporate training professionals.
