Description

The Key to Making Reality-Based Decisions

Everyone has a perception of reality and about how the world works – in other words, a mental model. Like an internal hard drive or framework, mental models help people understand and interpret the world around them by providing understanding, guiding thinking, directing decision making, and more. Built from everyday experiences, outside influences, and rewards such as money and success, mental models can be both beneficial and detrimental to success. Individuals, teams, and organizations need to regularly update, flex, and reconstruct mental models to adapt to the changing world around them and improve performance.

Mental Models is a training program that shows participants how to examine their mental models, separate fact from opinion, clarify assumptions, and reveal hidden beliefs. Using interactive exercises and activities, this learning experience illustrates the need to tune into one’s surroundings, look for opportunities, and approach work with an open mind.
