Overview

This course builds the habits, language, and tools of rigorous thinking that leaders rely on under pressure. You’ll learn to separate signal from noise, frame problems clearly, and evaluate evidence with discipline. Using real cases from governance, diplomacy, and civil society, you’ll practice argument-mapping, spotting logical fallacies, and turning complex data into clear, defensible recommendations.

We’ll blend classic reasoning techniques with modern decision frameworks—like OODA, Cynefin, PESTLE, and SWOT—plus structured analytic techniques (red-teaming, devil’s advocacy, premortems). By the end, you’ll write tighter briefs, run sharper meetings, and make decisions you can justify to stakeholders.
