Course Description

The ability to exercise practical judgment and strong objectivity consistently are challenging, even for the most seasoned professionals. Yet, these skills are central to effective, ethical decision-making. Fortunately, over the past several years, researchers in economics and psychology have applied a scientific approach to studying effective, ethical decision-making. From that research, we now understand clear and straightforward steps to decision-making and how almost everyone tends to fall prey to a set of predictable, systematic judgment traps and biases. Through an awareness of these common judgment pitfalls and an understanding of effective decision processes based on cognitive psychology, research suggests that people can dramatically improve their judgment and decision making and maintain a sharper focus on ethics and objectivity in their decisions.

Learning Objectives: 


  • Identify the skills necessary for effective, ethical decision making

  • Recall the scientific approach to understand explicit and straightforward steps to decision-making

  • Determine how to improve your decision-making dramatically
