INSEAD | Strategic Decision Making for Leaders Programme
Sharpen your decision-making skills
Leading a team, board or company to success involves making critical decisions, giving sound advice, and evaluating the decisions of others. However, in fast-changing business environments, leaders and managers must often make decisions under severe time constraints and with insufficient information. In these situations, if they rely only on habitual problem-solving techniques and intuition, they can fall prey to unconscious biases that hinder their ability to make the best decisions.
Strategic Decision Making for Leaders is aimed at executives who are responsible for establishing strategic decision-making processes. Through interactive classroom sessions, case discussions, simulations and group exercises, learn to overcome bias and build effective, holistic decision-making processes for your organisation.
Key learning concepts in the programme curriculum
Drawing on practical frameworks based on management science and psychology, as well as the newly introduced concepts of the power of data and AI, learn how to make better holistic decisions for your organisation.
- Develop critical thinking, establish sustainable decision-making processes within your team, and become a dynamic leader who can make better strategic decisions for international businesses and organisations.
- Leverage the power of "nudges" to influence behaviour and build a high-performing team in the face of risk and uncertainty.
- Effectively manage the rigorous decision-making process to overcome biases and avoid common traps and pitfalls.
- Gain an introduction into data-driven analytics— including data science, AI, and machine learning— and how it helps you make holistically-informed strategic decisions.

Whether it was someone managing an oil tanker fleet or working in biosciences, we all wrestled with the same core questions — how do you make sound decisions?
Julie Baron

It really made me realise how easy it is to fall into traps, even though I see myself as data-driven person. That shift in awareness changed the way I challenge what is seen — and how I lead.

If you think you know how to make decisions based on your past track records, wipe that clean and really lean into the learning process. It prepares you for decisions you were not prepared to make.
