Above is the 30 April 2025 Facebook sharing of Aida Page and Myrna Magboo Bigueras – “Master Class In Critical Thinking, Problem Solving & Decision Making.”
“The Center for
Global Best Practices invites you to join this SEC and CESB-accredited training
program via Zoom.”
There is no
explanation of the “Masterclass” offer, but I know my blogging involves me in (1)
critical thinking, (2) problem-solving and (3) decision
making – would you believe? What is missing in my list of 3 is this: (4) creative thinking. You ask: “Why do I
include problem-solving and decision-making in my writing?” Because: They are
what make my writing exotic and extra fertile and exciting!
No, I am not counter-offering
any classes in critical thinking, problem solving & decision making in
whole or in parts – but the above master course offer as a whole got me
interested, would you believe, in creative thinking! Once a creative thinker, always a creative thinker!

Developing one's critical thinking (CT),
problem-solving (PS) and decision-making (DM) skills (are) an investment not
only in personal growth but also for the future success and sustainability of (y)our
organization.
(Think of your
office, or think of your team.)
Employers value individuals and teams that can analyze
and solve complex problems, make sound decisions and quickly adapt to the
rapidly changing business environment.
• Everyone interested (in) sharpen(ing) and develop(ing)
their thinking, problem(-)solving, and decision-making skills. (Contact Person:
Kyra Villanueva)
I say, “The course
is all for developing your critical thinking skill – good, but that is inadequate.
Not for you if you are after developing your creative thinking skill.
Definitely not!”
When you are at a
loss for what to do, what to write, what to think, what to propose – what is
the skill you need? Creative Thinking!
No, not mentioned by the training program cited above. Critical Thinking is
Analytical – Creative Thinking is jumping out of a sticky situation – before you analyze the whole thing – such
as a thorny problem, and then coming out with an Aha! Moment.
And no, I am not
offering a counter-course to critical thinking – I’m just taking a golden
chance to emphasize the value of creative
thinking along with critical thinking. I believe these 2 types of thinking
should always be together, used in tandem, not singly.
Elsewhere, let’s explore.
