Too Many Decisions, Too Little Time, Too Few Experts: Enabling Decision Quality at Scale

Location: Novartis Campus, Cambridge, MA

Date: Tuesday, November 18 | 6:00 PM

Hosted by Novartis for the SDP Boston Chapter

Venue location guide:

250 MA Amenities Building on the Novartis Campus — a freestanding building located at 254 Massachusetts Ave (for GPS purposes), directly across from the 250 Building entrance.

Please arrive by 6:00 PM for check-in and networking.

HOT TAKE: Lots of little decisions can have a greater impact than a few big ones.

From portfolio strategies to project stage gates, big decisions have big impacts…and so do the thousands of choices that stem from those big decisions, often made by an individual or within a team.  The question is: how do you help all those decisions to achieve Decision Quality (DQ) with limited time, budget, and expertise?

In this highly engaging and interactive session, Tyler Ludlow, founder of the Decision Skills Institute, will show a simple, powerful method to enable DQ at scale.  You’ll see the 20% of decision science tools that can be used to make 80% of the decisions people face,  including examples of responding to a flash flood, accelerating drug development. You’ll even get to try it yourself!
