The Eliminating Alternative Tool

• Description: This workout will focus on familiarity and practice with The Eliminating Alternative Tool. Elimination is a powerful tool that can help us in the processes of analysis, decision making, and problem-solving. This may sound a bit trivial since we are experienced in eliminating options in various contexts. But many times, we rush to disqualify options because of a gut feeling or without having done an orderly process. In such situations, we may omit good possibilities that could actually bring us closer to a solution. Proper application of the tool will improve your performance in many areas.
• Leading Game: Enigma.
  Enigma is a strategy game in which players try to figure out the secret code by making educated guesses. The ability to crack opponent code is based on analytical ability, critical thinking and attention to details. The game is characterized by an abundance of information that makes the task difficult and complex. The key to winning is narrowing down the information, using The Elimination tool, and excluding unlikely possibilities.
• Practiced Skills: Analytical Thinking, Efficiency, Analysis and Deduction, Decision Making and Calculation.

Solving the Core of the Problem

• Description: During this workout, we will become familiar with system problems. A system is a collection of components linked together and functioning together for a common purpose. When one of the components stops working, a problem arises!
  System problems are common: A vehicle that stops working, a team whose performance is inadequate or unsatisfactory, a product that does not perform as planned… and more! When the system is not functioning, we need to respond quickly and identify the problem’s core.
• Leading Game: Move-It.
  Move-It is a puzzle game. In the game, the player is presented with challenges of increasing difficulty and must identify the set of moves that will lead to a solution. Despite the simple rules of the game, the levels of the game are challenging and stimulate thinking about how to solve problems. The game is characterized by having one central factor that we must find to reach a solution. We call this factor the Core of the Problem.
• Practiced Skills: Analytical Thinking, Planning, Systematic Vision, Following Move Order and Problem Solving.

Following Move Order

• Description:In this workout, we’ll learn to recognize situations where calculating the order of actions is necessary. We’ll also practice the skill of determining the correct sequence of actions using a straightforward and effective thinking model, which consists of three steps:
  Step 1 – Identifying a scenario that requires a sequence of actions.
  Step 2 – Analyzing dependencies between different operations and forming a logical chain.
  Step 3 – Planning and drafting an action plan.
• Leading Game:Maxit is a two-player strategy game played on an 8×8 square board. The board is randomly filled with numbers and a star is placed on one of the squares. One player plays in the rows and the other in the columns. The objective of the game is to collect more points than the opponent by selecting squares that maximize the sum of their numbers. However, players must also anticipate and adapt to a constantly changing board, adding a layer of complexity to the game that requires planning and strategy.
• Practiced Skills:Analytical Thinking, Following Move Order, Analysis and Deduction, Calculation and Strategic Thinking.
