Decision and Risk Analysis
Explore the foundations of decision quality and how to use a rigorous analytic framework to make better decisions in your personal and professional life.
Most of us were never trained how to make good decisions. A primary reason for this seems to be, as we explore in this course, an unfounded belief that we are naturally good at making decisions. We do it every day, after all. Yet, the research is overwhelming that individuals are prone to many decision-making mistakes, even in simple situations. This problem is even more prevalent when we must make decisions under uncertainty. In this course, we will discuss how you can become better decision makers in both your personal and professional lives.
