In our rapidly changing world, organisations need to ensure employees continuously upskill and reskill for adaptability, productivity and efficiency, as well as to facilitate transitions to new task configurations for jobs and organisational models (Brynjolfsson 2025).

Problem solving is one of the top core skills needed across the labour force identified by Jobs and Skills Australia as well as U.S. U.K and European skills and training authorities.

Problem solving as part of broader transversal skills development supports AI adoption and multiple organisational strategies simultaneously, maximising value from training spending (Morandini 2023).

What readers say:

"It's great to have only what I need to know. My days are filled with information overload."

"The diagrams make it easy to understand."

"It's such a great size and the paper is so nice to touch."

"I love how it reminds me of things I learned at university."

It's professional development that's nothing like forgettable online courses or expensive training days where learning is forgotten the moment we finish.

 

 

German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus discovered that we forget most of what we learn remarkably quickly. Within 24 hours, the average person retains only 33% of new information. By week's end, that figure drops to just 21%... unless we review it.

The Essential Skills Series Problem Solver is an innovative learning and development boost that can't be forgotten.
