Description:  

All managers & supervisors have to make decisions; some of which are critical.
Surveys have shown that over 90% of managers have never had any training in decision-making. They rely on gut-feel decisions.
This presentation will highlight the “natural pitfalls” associated with decision-making, and provide guidelines for using analytical techniques to reinforce our common-sense decision-making capabilities.

Takeaways:

  • Be convinced, that in today’s world of information overload, common-sense, experience, and intuition is not sufficient.
  • Be convinced, never to make any decision of consequence, without identifying relevant criteria (criteria segregation).
  • Learn how to make an optimum decision, which you can defend.
  • Learn how to conduct a sensitivity analysis (N-1, Analysis), of your decision.
