Making decisions is a critical skill in business and life and taking tough, strategic decisions is never easy. Although left-brain dominated business people like to think they can reach the right decision through number-crunching, technology-driven analyses and brilliant judgement, it is never that easy. We live in an increasingly complex and connected world that makes it almost impossible to see the entire picture. Furthermore, behavioural economics is showing us how non-rational we often are either as individuals or in groups.
However, we can improve our competencies in this area by learning proven techniques and adapting a number of “habits” that help us to overcome some of the pitfalls. Join Professor Simon Gifford at our next Master Class to learn more about these 7 habits!
