Course Curriculum

📚 Module 1: Decision-Making Fundamentals +
  • Types of decisions: reversible (two-way door) vs irreversible (one-way door)
  • Who should make which decisions -- authority and delegation
  • The cost of delayed decisions vs the cost of wrong decisions
  • Individual vs group decisions -- when each is better
  • Decision fatigue -- what it is and how to manage it
📚 Module 2: Cognitive Biases & How to Counter Them +
  • Confirmation bias -- seeking evidence that confirms what we already believe
  • Anchoring -- over-weighting the first number we hear
  • Availability heuristic -- overestimating probability of memorable events
  • Sunk cost fallacy -- letting past investment drive future decisions
  • Groupthink -- when teams converge too quickly on a bad answer
📚 Module 3: Probabilistic & Evidence-Based Thinking +
  • Thinking in bets: decisions are probabilistic, not certain (Annie Duke)
  • Base rates -- why prior probabilities matter more than we think
  • Calibrated confidence: knowing how much you should trust your estimate
  • Pre-mortem analysis: imagining failure before it happens
  • Reference class forecasting -- using data not intuition
📚 Module 4: Decision Frameworks in Practice +
  • RAPID framework: Recommend, Agree, Perform, Input, Decide
  • OODA loop: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act -- for fast decisions
  • Decision matrix: weighted criteria for complex choices
  • The 2x2 decision grid: expected value under uncertainty
  • When to use each framework -- matching tool to decision type
📚 Module 5: Group Decision-Making Quality +
  • Running structured decision meetings that produce outcomes
  • Ensuring diverse perspectives are heard, not just senior voices
  • The devil's advocate role -- assigning it explicitly
  • Delphi technique for expert consensus
  • Building decision accountability: who decided, why, what happened
📚 Module 6: Building a Decision Culture +
  • Documenting decisions and the reasoning behind them
  • Learning from decisions: post-decision reviews
  • Celebrating quality process, not just right outcomes
  • Psychological safety to disagree with the majority view
