很久很久以前就有朋友介紹這門課,但一直苦於上課的單價實在是不太便宜,加上沒有空出一段時間可以好好研讀,所以拖到現在才把看書的筆記整理出來。有興趣的朋友可以到 博客來去定一本“問題分析與決策:經理人KT式理性思考法”來看看。

KT 法則是由 Charles H. Kepner 以及Benjamin B. Tregoe 於 1958 年所創,簡而言之就是理性分析 (Rational Analysis) 與邏輯思考 (Logical Thinking) 的決策方法。http://www.kepner-tregoe.com/

用簡單的幾句話,來介紹 KT理性思考法則所要述說的四種基本思考模式:

1. What’s going on? (評估與澄清)

2. Why did this happens? (發生原因和結果)

3. Which course of action should we take? (做選擇)

4. What lies ahead? (預料未來)

這四種模式看似理所當然,但要如何將它能夠在團隊裡有效的實現,就是此法則的功力所在。
