Strengthen your judgement and leadership when it matters most.

This immersive 5-day training course equips operational leaders, supervisors, and decision-makers with the advanced tools and confidence to make effective decisions under pressure. Focusing on real-world crises—especially within high-risk environments such as the petrochemical industry—this course combines theory, self-assessment, structured decision models, and compelling case studies to foster resilience, critical thinking, and high-stakes problem solving. Delegates will emerge better prepared to lead through uncertainty, avoid groupthink, and manage crisis communication with clarity and purpose.
