5-Day Executive Program

Decision-Making in a Digital Age

The more data you have, the better your decisions will be! If this were true, todays organizations would be perfect decision engines: in 2019 alone, more data was collected than in the entire history of humanity before. In 2020, the total amount of data stored will double yet again. Despite this vast amount of data and billions being spent on hiring data science teams and developing business intelligence units, odds are your organization isn’t twice as smart as it was a year ago. At the same time, The Economist finds that more than two-thirds of senior managers continue to rely on their intuition. Are they simply wrong or outdated?

Is your organization twice as smart as it was a year ago?

Our leadership program is based on 30 years of world-leading research, spear-headed by the Max Planck Institute for Human Development under Prof. Gerd Gigerenzer, one of the most influential psychologists and decision scientists in the world today. You will gain an in-depth understanding of when and why intuition can be a powerful tool, how less information and complexity can drive better decisions in dynamic and uncertain environments, when new modes of work such as agile management will be effective, and when to use Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Find out how to make the most of the innovative potential of your organization and create the conditions for sustained growth. The program also provides a unique platform for networking with like-minded managers from around the world by exploring Berlin as Europe's leading digital start-up capital and cultural hot bed.
