This Critical Thinking for Business Bundle includes:

• 10 x Decks of Critical Thinking Cards
• Digital Download of the Critical Thinking Slideshow in editable PPT, Keynote & PDF formats
• Free Shipping worldwide

Each deck of Critical Thinking Cards contains 24 cognitive biases, 24 logical fallacies, and 3 interactive game cards. 

Our biases affect every aspect of our professional life, and becoming more aware of them can profoundly change how we make decisions. For example, understanding how the Sunk Cost Fallacy causes us to ‘throw good money after bad’ can help to identify liabilities earlier, thereby improving the company’s bottom line and resulting in a more optimal allocation of resources.

There are a multitude of ways that Critical Thinking can improve your business, some of which have immediate short-term positive effects, and others which help to foster a sustained culture of improved rational thinking and decision making.

When you purchase a Critical Thinking for Business Bundle, you’ll also receive a Digital Download of our Critical Thinking Slide Presentation in Powerpoint, Keynote and PDF formats which you can edit to include your corporate logo. You will be entitled to distribute these digital resources with your entire team, and/or use them for training and workshops. 

Our Corporate Packs are entirely customizable, so you can either order now in multiples of 10 Critical Thinking decks directly using this website page, or contact us via admin@schoolofthought.org to obtain a quote for different product inclusion options, or distribution to multiple shipping addresses e.g. different office locations or sending directly to remote employees’ addresses via a customized spreadsheet.

The School of Thought International is a registered 501c3 non profit organization in Austin, Texas. Our resources have reached over 30 million people in 7 languages worldwide, and are being used in thousands of businesses, schools and universities, including Harvard, Oxford, and the University of Queensland in Brisbane where our founder collaborates with UQ’s Critical Thinking Project.

Our resources have been cited by Harvard Professor Dr. Steven Pinker in his NY Times Bestselling book Enlightenment Now (which Bill Gates said was his favorite book of all time!), the founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales, the very lovely Mr. Stephen Fry, and many thousands more.

If you think about it rationally, there’s really no reason not to improve the quality of your team’s thinking!

Will you conspire with us?

To help launch The Conspiracy Test we'd like to invite you to conspire to use the clickbaity tools of misinformation against themselves.

These mysterious posters are appearing in cities all over the world, and seem to be advertising a real conspiracy. And technically they are – the conspiracy that we're conspiring about with you right now.

Each of these physical packs contains 12 posters (three each of four kinds) offset-printed on at slightly smaller than tabloid size (9.3 x 14 inches / 240 x 360mm).

We're selling these at cost price, and you're also very welcome to download the free versions here

The world really, really needs critical thinking at the moment, so we do hope you'll join us.
