The making of a decision

About this presentation

We often stumble over the invisible webs that drive decision making. Reflecting upon past decisions, we wonder "How did we come to this?". Why do others not see the obvious flaws in their decision making? Have you been forced to make a bad decision, hoping the future will provide a path to recovery? This talk is about the anatomy of a decision. We'll examine its parts and their relationships. We'll learn about the context of a decision in a socio-technical system, and how we can create and distribute knowledge to effectively drive decision making. Ultimately, we'll better understand how influence and power affect us all.
