Randy Park specializes in helping individuals and organizations understand their decision making processes and their own thinking strengths and traps. His thought-provoking, entertaining sessions raise people's awareness of the critical assumptions they make that determine the results of their thinking. Perhaps most importantly, he helps them analyse when past experience is a useful guide and when it can hinder decision making.
Randy conducts workshops and facilitates meetings that lead people to improved decision making, analysis, and communications. They improve their thinking as they address important organizational issues. The concepts, processes, and tools presented help you and your people obtain, consider, and use all the relevant information to achieve better decisions, faster solutions, and fewer mistakes.
Randy Park holds a Bachelor's degree in Physics from Simon Fraser University and a Master's in Engineering Physics from McMaster University. In business, Randy brings several approaches from science: cooperation amongst professionals; creative thinking (not getting stuck in past experience); rigorous analysis of solid information; and recognition of thinking traps. He also believes in models as a way of increasing understanding and communications of situations. Just as numbers provide a way of allowing different people to identify and agree on quantities, models can provide a way of identifying and agreeing on the key components and connections in an organization or an industry.
Randy also brings an extensive study of human behaviour, incorporating evolutionary psychology, critical thinking, game theory, and how humans process information such as numbers, statistics, and risk.
Randy has presented workshops, keynote speeches, and facilitated sessions on critical thinking, decision making, scenario planning, and thinking tools to thousands of people in North America and Europe.
