About the course

At times of immense pressure, businesses can make decisions that affect their whole future, and sometimes those decisions can be bad ones. The coronavirus pandemic wiped out whole businesses before they even had a chance to react. It's critical that we think about the way that we make decisions, so that we can develop a plan for the future, and so that we can respond robustly and rapidly to any future shocks.

This course looks at the way that we make decisions, how sometimes we make bad decisions, some common mistakes and traps we can fall into, and how we can develop a methodology to optimise our decision making to cope with any future shock the world may throw at us.
