Increasing Critical Thinking in the Workplace The Raw Material of 21st Century Success
Today’s Agenda
The success of your organization depends on the quality of the thinking and the decisions made by everyone in your business. Everyone thinks, but few think  critically
Lots of people work hard But do they accomplish much?

Critical Thinking Defined It is…
Critical Thinking Impacts Business
Schlitz Loses Its Lead Background : In the 1970s, Schlitz, America’s #2 beer, wanted to compete with Budweiser.  Decision : Head of Schlitz Brewing Company, Robert Uhlein, Jr., decided to cut costs in the ingredients used in the beer and  to speed up the brewing process. The brew time went  from 40 days to 15. Barley malt was replaced with corn syrup.  A foam stabilizer was replaced with a cheaper version. Impact : Initial profit was good, but the beer tasted terrible and the ingredients tended to bond together and sink to the bottom of the can – looking like mucus. A reviewer described it as “snot-ridden beer.” Schlitz  finally recalled 10 million cans of beer. By 1981, they shut down their  Milwaukee plant, and the following year they were sold.  A Milwaukee mayor  compared it to the sinking of the Titanic.
The Beatles Sign With EMI Background : In December, 1961, Decca Records’ executives Mike Smith and Dick Rowe watched a local rock ‘n’ roll band perform in Liverpool. He invited them to audition on January 1, 1962. The group spent two hours playing 15 different songs. Then they went home and waited for weeks. Decision : Finally, Rowe told the band’s manager that Decca wasn’t interested. He said:  "Not to mince words, Mr. Epstein, but we don’t like your boys’ sound. Groups are out; four-piece groups with guitars particularly are finished.“ Impact : The group, The Beatles, signed with EMI Records, and started a trend back to guitar bands. The rest is history.
Background : In 1981, Universal Studios called Mars and asked  permission to use M&Ms in a new film. This was common  practice. The director was looking for cross-promotion –  he would use M&Ms, and Mars could help promote the movie. Decision : The Mars brothers said “no.” Impact : The film was E.T. The M&Ms were needed for a crucial  scene: Elliot, the boy who befriended the alien, uses candy to  lure E.T. into his house.  Instead, Hershey’s cut a deal to use a new product called Reese’s Pieces.  Initial sales had been light. Sales exploded when E.T. became a top-grossing movie. Hershey’s estimated that they would have had to pay $15-20 million for this level of advertising. Hershey’s Sees the Light
A 21 st  Century Survival Skill We’ve seen bad judgment bring down business giants Enron, Lehman Brothers and AIG. Every business needs to focus on making the right decisions in a complex, rapidly changing environment – with incomplete and imperfect information. Critical thinking is a core  survival skill.

  • 10. Schlitz Loses Its Lead Background : In the 1970s, Schlitz, America’s #2 beer, wanted to compete with Budweiser. Decision : Head of Schlitz Brewing Company, Robert Uhlein, Jr., decided to cut costs in the ingredients used in the beer and to speed up the brewing process. The brew time went from 40 days to 15. Barley malt was replaced with corn syrup. A foam stabilizer was replaced with a cheaper version. Impact : Initial profit was good, but the beer tasted terrible and the ingredients tended to bond together and sink to the bottom of the can – looking like mucus. A reviewer described it as “snot-ridden beer.” Schlitz finally recalled 10 million cans of beer. By 1981, they shut down their Milwaukee plant, and the following year they were sold. A Milwaukee mayor compared it to the sinking of the Titanic.
  • 11. The Beatles Sign With EMI Background : In December, 1961, Decca Records’ executives Mike Smith and Dick Rowe watched a local rock ‘n’ roll band perform in Liverpool. He invited them to audition on January 1, 1962. The group spent two hours playing 15 different songs. Then they went home and waited for weeks. Decision : Finally, Rowe told the band’s manager that Decca wasn’t interested. He said: "Not to mince words, Mr. Epstein, but we don’t like your boys’ sound. Groups are out; four-piece groups with guitars particularly are finished.“ Impact : The group, The Beatles, signed with EMI Records, and started a trend back to guitar bands. The rest is history.
  • 12. Background : In 1981, Universal Studios called Mars and asked permission to use M&Ms in a new film. This was common practice. The director was looking for cross-promotion – he would use M&Ms, and Mars could help promote the movie. Decision : The Mars brothers said “no.” Impact : The film was E.T. The M&Ms were needed for a crucial scene: Elliot, the boy who befriended the alien, uses candy to lure E.T. into his house. Instead, Hershey’s cut a deal to use a new product called Reese’s Pieces. Initial sales had been light. Sales exploded when E.T. became a top-grossing movie. Hershey’s estimated that they would have had to pay $15-20 million for this level of advertising. Hershey’s Sees the Light
  • 13. A 21 st Century Survival Skill We’ve seen bad judgment bring down business giants Enron, Lehman Brothers and AIG. Every business needs to focus on making the right decisions in a complex, rapidly changing environment – with incomplete and imperfect information. Critical thinking is a core survival skill.
