Business professionals face increasingly complex problems, as they adapt to rapid economic, technological and cultural changes in a global business environment. The price of decisions made through trial and error is high, making this a costly way to learn. Case analysis offers realistic opportunities to develop problem-solving, decision-making and teamwork skills by analyzing a fictional problem. With e-learning, this respected approach can be used in individual just-in-time or group training. This interactive webcast offers easy-to-adapt strategies for using case methods with the e-learning technologies you have available. Your organization can draw from fictional problems based on fact to transfer and execute on strategic initiatives for your company. You'll leave with practical ideas for developing and increasing your organization's talent for problem-solving and with an understanding of the types of tools available to support you.
