Course Description

This engaging session focuses on common cognitive biases that afflict even the best decision makers. A number of biases are illustrated in the context of day-to-day judgments and decisions that we make in both our professional and personal lives. Through a series of examples, specific decision failures are identified and analyzed. The implications of these decision traps are examined, and recommendations on how to improve our decision skills offered.

• To learn how to recognize these traps and counter them to ensure good results when managing decisions on the job.
• To describe the limits and pitfalls of intuition.
