How are shifts in U.S. politics, Russia’s war against Ukraine, tensions in other regions, and China’s growing influence reshaping security in Latvia and the Baltic States?

Martins Daugulis, Managing Partner
Seminar: "Critical Thinking for Better Decisions".
Why does information that confirms our existing beliefs often seem more credible? How can we distinguish a well-founded argument from a confidently presented assumption? This seminar develops practical critical-thinking skills for evaluating information, recognising manipulation and misinformation, and making better-informed decisions in complex situations.

Seminar: "Social Anthropology in Market Research".
Why do people show interest in a product but never use it? Why can a carefully designed service still feel inconvenient in everyday life? This seminar introduces practical social-anthropological methods for uncovering the needs, habits, motivations, and constraints that customers themselves may find difficult to articulate.

Seminar: "EU funds and international financing for businesses".

BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE FOR BUSINESS GROWTH
(in Latvian)
Dates: 16, 23 and 30 October.
Customer experience is increasingly becoming part of the product itself. Along with a product or service, customers also experience every interaction with the company - from the first information they receive and the expectations it creates, to the purchase, use, problem-solving, and the relationship after the sale.
The training programme consists of three practical sessions that apply approaches from behavioural science, social anthropology, customer experience, and strategic communication to the analysis of real business situations.
