CMCE Lecture: Judgement at Work
Are you a good judge? Do you rely on your personal qualities, knowledge and experience to make important choices? More importantly, do you understand how you use your judgement effectively?
Good judgement is crucial – it governs major decisions and shapes company culture but do we know whom to trust? How much risk should we take, and how far should we rely on our intuition?
To help answer these questions, Sir Andrew Likierman will be presenting and discussing the findings of his current research into managerial judgement, drawing on his recently-published book Judgement at Work: Making Better Choices which outlines a six-part framework for developing and boosting sound judgement.
Whether you’re a consultant, manager or just curious about the decision-making processes we employ day in an day out, do take the opportunity to join this face-to-face to hear from one of the experts in this little-examined area.
To 8:00pm
