We will demonstrate many of these phenomena firsthand through individual and class exercises. Topics will include:
- Biases in perception
- Fallacies in reasoning
- Motivational biases
- Personality differences
- Group dynamics
We will offer preventive measures and techniques that can help decision-makers avoid potential traps and pitfalls, improve individual decisions, and enrich group and organizational decisions.
Those who participate in strategic decision-making will find this program an excellent introduction to the decision-making problems and pitfalls inherent to human nature.
Offered through the Stanford Center for Professional Development in partnership with SDG.
