Effective and Inclusive Decision-Making in Business Schools

Participants will examine how individual judgement, organisational systems and leadership practice shape decisions affecting people, progression and institutional culture. Drawing on insights from cognitive neuroscience, research on performance narratives and senior leadership experience, the workshop will explore how bias operates, how organisational processes influence outcomes and how leaders can create conditions for better decisions. 

In periods of uncertainty, organisations often fall back on habitual ways of thinking and established processes, which can narrow perspectives and reinforce bias. This workshop will help participants understand how cognitive patterns, institutional systems and leadership behaviours interact to shape decision-making in challenging times. 

Learning outcomes: 

• Have a clearer understanding of how cognitive biases may impact effective decision-making  

• Be able to explore opportunities and barriers to good quality and inclusive decision-making as leaders within business schools  

• Extend their understanding of how organisational systems and leadership practices shape decision-making and influence institutional culture
