Making better decisions in life and work

Speaker: Richard Canter, Visiting Professor of Surgical Education in the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Oxford.

We all have to make many decisions at work, in research and in our private lives. Typically we encounter a choice, we analyse our options, we make a choice then we live with it. This session explores the powerful biases, illogical wishful and overconfident thinking that characterises many of our decisions. This interactive session will aim to convince you to consider a different process of making decisions. It wont solve all your problems! … but you might hopefully end up making better decisions.
