This LAESO "Critical Thinking Skills" learning module will allow practising Cultural Managers to engage with various aspects of "critical thinking" as it pertains to their everyday work. These aspects include generating innovative directions for one's organization; finding commonalities across divergent groups and interests; and responding to, and productively negotiating conflict and contingency as they arise. Content for this module, comprising 2 to 3 hours of engagement, will consist of various definitions of "critical thinking", in accessible and relevant language; short self-assessment exercises; and a series of interactive case stories depicting everyday problems or issues in which Cultural Managers must put their critical thinking skills into play.
