The main objectives of this program are to improve analytical decision making, use analysis to lead change and make the right choices when deep analytics are not possible.

Participants will learn from case studies and from applying systems diagnostics and models to challenges in their own organizations. Upon returning to their organizations, participants will be able to:

  • recognize situations where analytical decision making and deep-dive diagnostics can be applied effectively to improve organizational performance
  • better apply analytics to increase data-based insights for decision making

 
Specific applications will focus on identifying:

  • the source of productivity problems at the role and group levels
  • the factors at the heart of individual and organizational capability
  • the data needed for a work design ROI analysis.

 
Three post-program teleconferences will be scheduled for participants to share how they have applied the program materials in their workplace. Dr. Levenson will provide individualized feedback to maximize the impact of how the program material has been utilized post-program.
