Making Better Decisions

About

In R&D and technology-intensive organizations, making the right decisions is essential to success. As an R&D Manager or Technical Expert, you often make decisions under uncertainty, especially when technology is evolving fast. We’re in the middle of a technology shift, and selecting the best way forward has never been this important. Yet, critical decisions often lack robust frameworks for managing bias and risk.

Making Better Decisions Under Uncertainty is a three-day training course that explores the science of decision-making and offers perspectives on how we make choices. Through psychology and cognitive science, you will uncover how the brain processes information, why cognitive traps occur, and how to make smarter choices in complex environments.

Together with leading experts, you will explore practical strategies for navigating complex decisions in R&D and innovation.

The course brings together R&D Professionals from different companies to exchange experiences, challenge assumptions, and develop new ways of thinking.

The course is valuable if you want to:

  • Learn how to avoid common decision errors
  • Gain insights by sharing experiences with other participants and experts
  • Build strategies for handling complex situations and making better decisions in your day-to-day work
