Decision Making
About this Course
In an increasingly complex world, the decisions we make have a profound impact on our successes, both personally and professionally, and can influence the direction of our lives, careers, organizations, and even societies.
The Decision Making online program from the Yale School of Management Executive Education gives you the knowledge and skills needed to make effective decisions across any context. Guided by expert faculty, you’ll develop an understanding of the psychological and behavioral drivers, biases, rules, and heuristics that form the foundation of how decisions are made. You’ll also explore the core pillars of decision making — context, uncertainty, and time — in order to better analyze your decisions and make more informed choices, no matter your situation.
This program is useful for anyone who wants to master the art of effective decision making. Senior leaders and decision makers who often have to solve problems in the face of uncertainty would benefit from the content, as would professionals across a variety of functions. This includes people in fast-paced industries such as marketing, finance, IT, and business development. Those looking for guidance on how to make better decisions in their everyday life will also find great value in this program.
