The Science of Decision Making

Keynote

How diverse people with incomplete information can make difficult decisions under pressure

Every decision you make, subtly or sometimes drastically, shapes the future for yourself and others. But how do we make the best decisions when we’re operating in an uncertain environment with incomplete information?

This keynote will bring the latest in decision-making science to your next event. We explore the different types of decisions we make and how to best approach them. We look at the environmental conditions and cognitive biases that can undermine our best intentions, and we reveal how treating decision-making as a conversation rather than a debate can improve the dynamics between diverse decision-makers.

This unique keynote brings together the science of decision-making, the art of storytelling, and the power of interactive experience to show how good decision-makers can become great ones.
