Objectifs

Organizations make hundreds of decisions each day. To improve decision quality, organizations store and analyze vast amounts of data. Nevertheless, many executives say their data analytics initiatives produce disappointing results. It doesn’t have to be this way. Data alone is no guarantee for making successful decisions.

The objectives of the course are the following:

  • To provide an overview of important biases in decision-making, judgment, and explanations of such biases.
  • To explain how experimental methods, combined with theory, can reveal how decisions get made
  • To improve your decision-making by understanding biases and how they could

Contenu

The emphasis is on the underlying psychological processes and their consequences. The emphasis is on the underlying psychological processes and their consequences.

  • What are the implications for your business?
  • Why do forecasts often fail?
  • When do intuitive predictions work and when does it lead to poor judgment?
  • How can decision processes be manipulated or improved?
