Executive Directors set strategies and manage operations by weighing a vast array of factors to arrive at the right balance of risk and reward. They contend with high level of uncertainty, multi-functional teams, and changing competitive landscapes which make decision making hard and its consequences difficult to predict.

This programme is designed to unravel the complexities of executive decision making and explore best practice and behaviours that lead to consistent decision-making habits. Using a blend of tested approaches, participants will learn how to effectively use decision making techniques, critical thinking and gain a deeper understanding of the role personal judgement and emotions play in the executive decision making process.
