Columbia Business School

Negotiation & Decision Making

About Programme

Business leaders face a billowing stream of data and information on any given workday. With this firehose of information, leaders and their teams must make hundreds of business decisions under uncertainty, yet the process is usually slow, inefficient, or suboptimal.

Often, these decisions are made based on previous experiences, business as usual, or staying in their comfort zone instead of synthesizing new and existing data. The challenge is:

How can executives decipher meaningful information from the clutter?

How can executives ensure their decisions impact business against the flood of information washing over them?

How can they become catalysts of change in the face of uncertainty?

In our

Leading in a Data-Driven World: Developing Quantitative Intuition

program, we train participants to learn how to make smarter decisions with incomplete information via precision questioning and interrogation of data by putting the data in context and synthesizing the information to arrive at faster, better decisions.

As part of the program, participants will engage in a unique immersive data-driven decision-making experience that tests individual and team-level decision-making skills under pressure and with limited information. This combination of lesson and application creates a high-energy, dynamic learning environment, ensuring executives leave with essential insights and tools they can immediately apply to their team and organization.

The faculty directors of this program perfectly bridge theory and practice. Building on their rich experience from Amazon, American Express, Deloitte, Google, IBM, and Microsoft, as well as academia and their book,

Decisions Over Decimals: Striking the Balance Between Intuition and Information.
