MPM 732 Critical Thinking for Managers

Unit Learning Outcome (ULO)

ULO 1: Analyse, critique, evaluate and reflect on information and arguments
ULO 2: Synthesise disparate and complex information to form a coherent argument

Description / Requirements

In this assessment task you will apply the process of critical thinking to identify a vision for your career development. Your vision will then be used to identify the core competencies you have mastered, that will assist you in your career in the short term (next 5 years). 

This assignment involves 4 stages. In the first two stages, you will use the “Superstrong” tool to help you identify your personal inventory of capabilities. You will then apply the critical thinking tools and techniques in this unit to analyse this information and produce a “vision for self” in stage 3 of this assignment. Make sure that what you write for your “vision for self” clearly explains how your capabilities will make you competitive in the career path that you have identified. The last stages of the assignment will require you to review and critique the critical thinking tools and techniques that you have used in order to create this vision.

Reflection on tools and techniques

In this section you are required to identify and justify the critical thinking tools and techniques employed in the development, critical interpretation and justification / defence of your personal vision across the preceding 3 stages.
