Featuring new tools and media designed to enhance an attendee\u2019s engagement and ability to apply KT\u2019s Clear Thinking processes, the update creates a highly engaging environment for learners across generations.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the new features and benefits of the KT PSDM solution include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Process modifications resulting from 55 years of testing and application that can be better leveraged for\u00a0<strong>rapid on-the-job results<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>Nearly three hours of the\u00a0<strong>most current media formats<\/strong>\u00a0including live-action video, illustrated motion-graphics and simulation to enhance the learning experience<em>;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>A library of twenty-five new and<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>time-tested cases<\/strong>\u00a0that tackle relevant issues and demonstrate powerful, real-world examples of KT Clear Thinking;<\/li>\n<li>A\u00a0<strong>mobile app<\/strong>\u00a0available for Apple iOS and Android devices that supports the use of KT process after the workshop; and<\/li>\n<li>Integrated\u00a0<strong>QR codes<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>social media elements<\/strong>\u00a0that direct participants to additional content that reinforces concepts and provides technique reminders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cKT seems to have done a great job on the upgrade,\u201d said Joel Beezhold, director of continuous improvement at Johnson Controls (JCI).\u00a0 \u201cAt JCI we use a lot of video while developing the capabilities of our employees, so we really appreciate the addition of the new video and media for the upgraded PSDM.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PSDM update is part of a larger strategy launched in November 2012 when Kepner-Tregoe \u00a0announced the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kepner-tregoe.com\/news\/clear-thinking-the-last-true-competitive-advantage\/\">KT Clear Thinking<\/a>\u00a0vision to help clients \u201cbuild a Thinking Organization\u201d supported by its\u00a0new global website\u00a0that focuses on customer needs.\u00a0 KT Clear Thinking allows organizations to run more efficiently, improve quality and drive bottom-line results by developing high-quality employee thinking and issue resolution capabilities with support of coaching and consulting solutions to maximize return on investment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis investment perfectly complements the KT Clear Thinking vision,\u201d said Ray Baxter, chief executive officer at Kepner-Tregoe. \u201cOrganizations looking to improve operational excellence, develop the next generation of leaders and sustain competitive advantage will achieve a high ROI from thinking processes that have proven their value across industries and functions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baxter added, \u201cThe update to KT PSDM is critical to our customers\u2019 ongoing success in dealing with the ever-increasing complexity of business. We allocated substantial resources to ensure we evaluated and accordingly modified every element of the KT Clear Thinking process and supporting technology so learners can quickly absorb advanced techniques and drive better on-the-job results. \u00a0Our customers will achieve maximum and sustained value from their engagements with KT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kepner-Tregoe processes are based on the work of Dr. Charles Kepner and Dr. Benjamin Tregoe, two researchers who conducted a study on breakdowns in decision making at the Strategic Air Command.\u00a0 They found that successful decision making by Air Force officers had less to do with seniority or career path and more with the thinking process of gathering, organizing and analyzing information before taking action.\u00a0 Their basic thesis, that organizations can be taught to think clearly, stands as strong today as when they founded Kepner-Tregoe.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>About Kepner-Tregoe Inc.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kepner-Tregoe (KT) provides capability development and consulting solutions across the world to help build Thinking Organizations that resolve the most pressing issues with clarity and confidence.
