Summary of the course

When making strategic decisions, people are often the victims of predictable errors. These errors happen not because people are not smart enough or fail to make the time and effort to try to get things right (though those things are sometimes true). Rather, many of these errors can be the result of how our mind processes information and makes judgements. Join this course to learn more about the sources and types of errors and the steps you can take to overcome them.
