The World Economic Forum lists critical thinking as a top skill needed for professional success in today’s economy. Maybe that’s because this core thinking skill supports problem-solving, breaks down echo chambers, and helps sort fact from fiction. Our take on critical thinking is that the teams we work with already know how to think, but busyness and pressure mean that they’re not always thinking their best.
