2.      Critical Inquiry

·         Developing practices that lead to more carefully thought out, evidence-based decisions: evaluating sources, considering alternatives, weighing and balancing considerations

3.      Making an effective case

·         Learning more effective strategies for reasoned persuasion—strategies that are especially helpful for making a case within an organization

4.      Enhancing group deliberation

·         Means for enhancing productive, efficient and yet creative decision making within a group. 

·         Appreciating dissent, carefully considering counter arguments and contrary information


Coaching


Coaching can include review of topics above and provide help to individuals to: reflect on their thinking, check for biases, consider alternatives and objections, etc.  It can also include review, editing and discussions of ongoing decision making processes from a critical thinking perspective.
