About the session
What are the influences behind our decision-making? What leads us to make bad judgements?
During this Masterclass, you will hear about NOISE, A Flaw in Human Judgment, book by Olivier Sibony, Professor at HEC Paris. Olivier Sibony will explain the influences behind our decision-making, and what leads us to make bad judgements in many fields - from law and medicine to forensic science and child protection. You will also learn how through controlling both noise and cognitive bias, you can make better ones.
The session will be followed by open Q&A from the audience, and a networking session with drinks and canapes.
About NOISE, A New York Times Bestseller
Wherever there is human judgment, there is Noise.
In Noise, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein show how noise, variability in judgments that should be identical, helps produce errors in many fields, including medicine, law, public health, economic forecasting, strategy, performance reviews and personnel selection. And although noise can be found wherever people make judgments and decisions, individuals and organizations alike commonly ignore to its role in their judgments and in their actions. They show “noise neglect.” With a few simple remedies, people can reduce both noise and bias, and so make far better decisions.
Packed with new ideas, and drawing on the same kind of diligent, insightful research that made Thinking, Fast and Slow and Nudge ground-breaking New York Times and international bestsellers, Noise explains how and why humans are so susceptible to noise in judgment — and what we can do about it.
