Learning Pathways

The Science of Better Decisions

Explore risk, judgment, bias, and decision-making through compelling stories that challenge the way we think.

5 learning experiences

Overview

Every story is a chain of decisions. This pathway pulls that chain apart — the information available, the incentives in the room, the biases nobody named — and rebuilds it with the tools of decision science. You will study catastrophic calls, brilliant ones, and the far more common decisions that were simply made too fast.

Learning outcomes

  • Separate a bad decision from a bad outcome
  • Identify the cognitive biases most likely to distort your own judgment
  • Use base rates, evidence, and probability in everyday reasoning
  • Build a decision process that performs under time pressure

The Learning Everywhere Framework

Every experience in this pathway follows the same five stages, so the thinking compounds from one story to the next.

1
Observe

What do I see, hear, feel, or wonder?

2
Connect

What does this remind me of?

3
Analyze

What is really happening, and why?

4
Apply

What can I do with this insight?

5
Reflect

What have I learned, and how has it changed me?
