About this Event

Two-Day Cognitive Training Workshop | 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM each day.


Task

The question of common sense — the endeavor to exhibit the constitution of everyday understanding and thinking — has become a capital problem of the 21st century. Proof includes the:

  • Increased efforts of corporate and political entities to exploit common sense to achieve tactical and strategic outcomes;
  • Disturbances in revenue and profits effected when enterprises decouple their messaging from the common-sense views of clients, and;
  • Growing efforts to encode the constituents of common sense.

Response

The workshop:

  1. Distills common sense to its basic cognitive operations.
  2. Examines common biases subverting everyday judgments and decisions.
  3. Delivers prescriptions to mitigate unconscious bias.

A social-psychological model is enacted and framed cybernetically to enhance applicability across professions, organizations, and industries.

Delivery

Best teaching practices are employed. They include discovery sessions, learning exercises, knowledge checks, and the exposition of fundamental processes. Delivery follows the adult learning principles established in the .


Cognition. Meaning. Intelligence. The way we understand, think, and say. Our perspectives, narratives, and comprehension of things. Our choices and decisions. Togetherness. These phenomena are not disconnected from organizations. They are not detached from business, technology, or production. They are information processes and belong to the physics of the system. Sigetic amplifies the power to see, seize, and steer the operations to strengthen organizational reliability and performance.
