Executive Decision Making with Data Science
Executive Decision Making with Data Science
Overview
3-day in-person program
From the mundane to the momentous, decision-making is a necessary and daily task for professional leaders. Despite this reality, many business leaders rarely focus on leader development opportunities that explore the decision-making process or build their confidence and critical thinking skills. Without this professional growth, many executives miss the chance to address confirmation bias and implement decision-making strategies that sustain the survival of their company and career.
The Executive Decision Making with Data Science program provides executives with essential training in decision-making skills to empower them to overcome biases, problem-solve, and adopt data-driven decision-making skills.
Professor Don Moore guides participants to learn the fundamentals of decision-making, how mining big data can impact judgment, and how critical thinking can minimize harmful short-term decisions. The program increases the participants’ ability to evaluate and apply discernment so that trivial information is subdued and practical decision-making tools are enabled to ensure successful business outcomes.
Curb overconfidence by learning how your intuition guides you. Overcome the mind traps that can impair effective decision-making.
Develop the skills to effectively execute data mining and extract crucial information from big data sets to perform analyses. Utilize data analysis to build a solid foundation of evidence and inform better business decisions and strategies.
Explore advanced tools (such as pre-mortems) to help you build confidence and think creatively to problem solve in the face of risk and uncertainty.
Learn how to anticipate the downstream effects of decisions and maintain critical thinking skills while balancing trade-offs and considering larger business goals.

Testimonials
"The course content is very engaging and kept me thinking...Once you go through the course, it is difficult not to be very aware of how biases can creep into one's decision-making process at the same time, one is also aware of how other's are being blindsided by their biases."
