Its easy to say “Everyone’s entitled to make a mistake”, especially when it is your own. Therein lies the biggest problem for our own decision making. Each of us think we are the world’s greatest decision maker and everyone else has a problem – You often find yourself thinking “If only they could see the world with the clarity that I can see (whilst playing the soundtrack from the movie Limitless in your head)”.
In truth we accept mediocrity in decision making. We know more about our unconscious biases than ever before, yet many leaders do not put into place processes to raise themselves above the pack.
In this session Bryan Whitefield will give you a very simple decision model to help you manage the risk in your decision making AND he will show you where risk management and the decision sciences take their rightful place in bringing the model to life.
This is a must watch session for anyone working in risk management and a great foundation for the whole week. Make sure you sign up!
