Program Overview:

Every day as an executive, you are asked to make choices. Some bigger and more public than others, but they all add up. Over time it is your decision-making track record that establishes your reputation and impacts the future of your organization.

Is decision-making an art or a science? The truth is, it's both. This 7-hour program will demonstrate how to blend intuition and analytics in order to select the best next move.

You will leave with a practical framework, designed to help you avoid common biases to arrive at and implement decisions that are both effective and ethical.

In this program you will learn to:

• Utilize different prescriptions for positive decision-making practices in the future based on learnings from other successful managers and business leaders' decision making
• Discuss and build a framework for both strategic and tactical problem-solving – an asset for any managers faced with making important decisions about their businesses
• Understand the impact of your decisions across the organization

This program will be delivered in a dynamic virtual classroom, where it will combine live, interactive video instruction with breakout sessions, group discussions, and expert facilitation and program support. You will be able to visually see and connect with the session leader and other participants in attendance, interact with the session leader in real-time, and beak out into teams for collaborative group work and case study analysis, and then come together as a class for greater discussion.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Philippe Girouard, Learning Advisor with the Centre of Expertise for Learning and Professional Development. You can expect to hear from Queen's University with more details as the program approaches.
