About this listen
Learn to approach the critical decisions in your life with a more seasoned, educated eye with this fascinating 24-lecture series that explores how individuals, groups, and organizations make effective decisions. The heart of this accessible series is a thorough examination of decision making at three key levels. First, you'll look at decisions made at the individual level, where, among the many things you'll learn is that intuition is more than just a gut instinct and, in fact, represents a powerful pattern recognition capability. Then, you'll explore decisions made at the group level, where you'll try to answer the question of whether groups are "smarter" and more capable of making critical decisions than individuals. And finally, you'll pull back to analyze organizational decision making, in which Professor Roberto demonstrates how some organizations have encouraged and reliably performed vigilant decision making in the face of risky scenarios.
Whether you're the head of a Fortune 500 company, a government agency, or an everyday household, you constantly make decisions important to you and those immediately around you. These lectures offer you a toolbox of practical knowledge and skills that you can apply to various decisions - whether large or small - in your everyday life and work. Professor Roberto's lively lectures are packed with useful anecdotes, tools, and advice designed to improve your own ability to make informed decisions. As you explore the intriguing process of making a good decision, you'll strengthen your grip on individual theories of decision making and the situations that illustrate them.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Good speaker.
The guy managed to make a dry subject interesting. Quite good content and many points to take away.

One of the most useful courses I have listened to
It truly makes me reflect on whether we can ever transcend the inherent limitations of human decision-making, given our cognitive biases, shortsightedness, and egocentrism. Especially now as we enter the age of AI. I highly recommend listening to "History's Great Military Blunders and the Lessons They Teach" as a companion course after this. It’s a valuable exercise to apply what you’ve learned here to analyze the types of decision-making errors that were made in military historical contexts. I have also learned how to survive a raging grass fire.

entertaining and comprehensive
it is a good set of lectures aimed at a basic level. I had already read Perrow’s (excellent) book and a number of the other main sources about complex organisations so I didn't find a lot of new material but nevertheless it is a solid consolidation of the area.

Perfect book
One the few books that I enjoyed every single word of it.
The subjects are Beautifully written and discussed naturally, without any conflict of interest.

good lectures
Repetative at times and a bit overstreached imho.
But nonetheless some valid ideas worth exploring further.

Superb!
This series of audiobooks are really good. They're much more in depth than you'd get on a business masters programme and cover some of the things that you'd be expected to have a grasp of as a thought leader.
The topics are presented in an in-depth but simple manner so anyone can sit and listen, picking up some fabulous information and great tips.

Great intro
Very organised presentation. Good range of ideas covered. PDF useful. Downside: Very usa focused examples. Would like examples from other fields, eg schools, NGOs
