    Course Introduction

    You will dig this course.  Yes, literally, you will be digging….for problems!  Since, during the course of most if not all projects, every manager will discover that certain things may go awry that are completely unanticipated and more often than not lie beyond the realms of control.  Yet, often, the root causes may not be immediately obvious and various aspects of the project may need to be investigated in order to establish where problems may have occurred and how to rectify them in order to get things back on track.

    The purpose of this course is to help you to become an expert interrogator and investigator of problems and to get you into the right space that enables you to excel at applying creative thinking to problem solving.  You will first learn how to suitably investigate and accurately define the problem and from there how to generate appropriate solutions.  You will then be taken through the steps of how to go about implementing the required solutions as well as how to evaluate their overall effectiveness in terms of achieving excellence in project delivery.
