Pamela Brooks-Richards on how judgment informs strategic decision-making (Ep. 110)
Do you know your own process for decision-making? ?
Do you know how judgment shows up in your thought process? Judgment is human, we don't (yet) live in an AI world, where all decisions are powered by data and statistics. Instead, we're synthesizing information ourselves, often through the lenses of emotion, bias, and past experiences.
When you're coming up with solutions to a challenge - do you go with the first solution you come up with? Or do you tend to brainstorm and weigh multiple options? This is an example of practical decision-making strategies.
If you're wondering how to positively understand and leverage the judgments you make in strategic decision-making, this is the episode for you.
THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOW
