Workshops for Team Leaders & Project Managers
We teach team leaders how to teach their teams to apply critical thinking so they can:
start off right
get unstuck
reduce churn
boost their influence
manage stakeholders
adjust to changing situations
We offer one and two day workshops for team leaders & project managers. We provide easy to use tools and techniques for managing the "people-side problems' that teams encounter. Project managers can use these tools to get teams off to a good start, help teams get unstuck and build the team’s capability to function as a high-performing team.
Anne and Charlie Kreitzberg lead The Center for Agile Thinking. We offer training for organizations that want to turbocharge their workforce by building bench-strength in critical thinking skills, strategic thinking, innovation, communication & influence and teamwork & collaboration. Our definition of critical thinking includes problem-solving, strategic thinking, communication, collaboration, social computing, creativity, innovation and global awareness.
It sounds like a lot, and it is. But we have developed frameworks and job aids that make it easy.
Our Agile Critical Thinking frameworks and best practices are revolutionary. Rather than teaching critical thinking as an abstract philosophy we take an immediate focus on what to do and how to do it in an organizational setting.
We have tested and refined our frameworks over the past two years so we've learned what works. We listen carefully to feedback from our participants and continually improve our offerings.
We offer workshops, coaching and consulting both in-person and through the web.
Many of our clients start with our Jumpstart Workshop -- our one-day intensive workshop in which we teach the ACT Framework in the context of mutually-selected business problems.

Our approach recognizes that in business settings, critical thinking is often a group process. It is constrained by organizational culture, goals and processes. So we help you think through how to be most effective given your current organizational style. We also can help you determine how to create an environment that values and supports critical thinking.
Increasing your critical thinking capability will give you a competitive advantage because it results in:
- Informed strategies
- Better decisions
- Effective communication and collaboration
We'll give you what you need
- Learn how to apply specific skills to improve your ability to critically think about current issues, projects or challenges
- Use tools and techniques to assess the environment and other factors affecting how you analyze problems and evaluate solutions
- Get the Agile Critical Thinking Toolkit - an electronic tool that serves as an easy-to-use refresher of everything we cover in our course
- Practice your skills and schedule post-session coaching
