Decision Thinking Masterclass - Online

Human beings make more than 12,775,000 decisions per year in every area of life – the problem is neuroscience suggests that nearly all of these decisions are reactive and unconscious. From an organisational perspective, poor decision making impacts all aspects of a business, for example stakeholders become disenfranchised, time and money is wasted, and change occurs as a threat to be resisted. Implementing Decision Thinking is a simple method of improving results and driving team and organisational performance – by moving from decision making by chance, to decision making by design.

The Decision Thinking Masterclass is a one day in-person interactive course that will develop participants’ capability in decision thinking and competency in making robust, effective individual and group decisions. Decision makers will be empowered with a simple framework to engage stakeholders, apply rigorous and transparent processes and truly understand the perspectives of those impacted. This non-technical course is designed to provide an introduction to Decision Thinking for individuals who are required to make decisions in often dynamic and complex environments.

Through this course, participants will:

• Learn the four Decision Thinking Principles and the elements of effective decision making;
• Develop an understanding of cognitive bias and how it leads to common mistakes and reactionary decision making;
• Develop an awareness of the relationship between communication, change management and effective decision making;
• Gain insight into what is effective team and organisational decision making.
