Introduction to critical thinking
Why it is vital for micro-enterprises.
Smart Entrepreneur Toolkit
Critical thinking: clear decisions in key periods, budgets, evaluations, planning
How to make fast, sound decisions for your business without falling into the traps entrepreneurs usually fall into
Objective
What this workshop sets out to do
In a micro-enterprise, every decision counts. Choosing a supplier, setting a price or deciding to invest in a new direction can make the difference between growth and stagnation. In a context full of uncertainty, critical thinking becomes an essential skill: it helps you filter information, recognise mental traps and choose the right path for your business more clearly.
This compact 2-hour workshop helps you train your critical thinking and apply concrete steps right away to the decisions you make in your own business.
