Test Your Critical Thinking Against Canadian Doctors

In the early 1990s, Canadian doctors reduced unnecessary X-rays by replacing intuition with four clear criteria. This team challenge asks you to design your own decision rules under pressure, revealing how judgment works when feedback is limited and risk is hard to measure.

Understanding Wicked Environments in Client Projects

Some projects operate in predictable settings. Others are complex, uncertain and hard to measure. This module helps you recognise when you are in a wicked environment, assess risk more intelligently and make clearer decisions that strengthen trust and alignment with clients.

Improve Project Decisions with the Pre-Mortem Method

The Pre-Mortem Method, popularised by psychologist Gary Klein, helps teams imagine a project has failed and work backwards to identify why. By surfacing risks early, you solve the right problems, strengthen decisions and reduce avoidable mistakes before real costs appear.
