Why is it that many of our decisions -- decisions we thought at the time to be rational, sensible, and prudent -- seem to turn out so wrong?
Were they bad decisions in the first place, made without the right information, understanding, or expectations? Or were they really good decisions that over time and unforeseen circumstances turned out poorly? And can we, in the future, make choices that will achieve the results we expect?
Our speakers are world-leading experts in the art and science of decision-making, with a deep understanding of why people make poor choices and how to improve the odds.
This free web conference was hosted by the Stanford Center for Professional Development in partnership with Strategic Decisions Group.
