Critical Thinking & Decision-Making with AI

AI is a powerful accelerator but without critical thinking, it can amplify bias and noise. This AI critical thinking training course helps leaders build disciplined reasoning habits and test ideas under pressure. With this AI training, you'll learn to leverage artificial intelligence as an intellectual partner to strengthen—not substitute—your professional judgment.

Choose your learning experience

We offer our innovative program in two formats to accommodate our learners. Sign up for a one-day, in-person workshop or a multi-week online learning experience. In both, you’ll focus on strategies and techniques to become better communicators while refining your presence to relay messages to owners, executives, clients, cross-functional teams, customers, and more.

In-person workshop

Spend one day collaborating with fellow professionals as you develop and refine your project through instructor-led activities, facilitated discussion, and hands-on coaching.

Date: August 3, 2027
Location: Indianapolis, IN
Time: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET

Registration fee: $995

Live online program

Experience the same practical curriculum through a multi-week, live online course that provides additional opportunities for project development, peer collaboration, instructor feedback, and iterative refinement between sessions.

Date: March 3 to 31, 2027
Format: Live online sessions via Zoom
Time: Wednesdays, noon to 1:30 p.m. ET (no session on March 17 due to Spring Break)

Registration fee: $995

Learning objectives

Learn to harness AI as an intellectual partner. Through hands-on exercises, integration of AI for critical thinking development, and case-based discussions, you’ll gain the ability to:

  • Frame the right problem: Clarify objectives, constraints, and what would change your mind.
  • Build disciplined reasoning: Separate facts from opinions, spot logical gaps, and avoid false trade-offs.
  • Upgrade evidence quality: Evaluate sources, quantify uncertainty, and distinguish correlation from causation.
  • Counter bias in practice: Recognize confirmation, anchoring, and sunk-cost fallacies, using “bias interrupters” to reset in real time.
  • Use AI as a challenger: Test your ideas, surface counterarguments, and summarize pros and cons without outsourcing your judgment.

You’ll leave this critical thinking course with a repeatable decision-making routine, clearer reasoning, and an Action Learning Project that applies these tools directly to your organization.
