A course on decision‐making in the public service

The main purpose of this article is to provide a description of the current design of the problem‐solving and decision‐making course which I have been running for my department's training branch. However, I also want to give a brief outline of how the course developed over the period of a year and a half. This description of the past will make the present more comprehensible and it will provide the basis for some of the conclusions I shall be drawing at the end of the article.
