This package is designed to help you achieve superior results within your industry or sector by equipping you with the ability to make better professional and personal decisions!

Limits on time and resources, however, mean that managers and other busy professionals simply do not have time to study the science of decision making; or investigate the latest, evidence-based research on how to maximise the probability of achieving good outcomes by improving decision quality.  

Drawing on insights from the field of Decision Analysis, this course provides you with a practical, working knowledge of how to begin making better decisions immediately; knowledge which can be used to improve your individual performance, and contribute to your organisation's ability to achieve its objectives.

In addition to providing you with information that can assist you to make better decisions in your current role, this course will provide you with a strategic decision framework that can be used to make better decisions in your personal life.
