Element #4 - Decision-Making System
Today, executives are under more pressure than ever to make good decisions. The typical route for an executive is to do an analysis and put together a financial model. However, many executives fail to look at the system used to make a decision. This leaves them with few options, confirmation bias (only look for evidence to support chosen options), overconfidence and what we have learned from neuroscience decisions are made emotionally. A system of decision-making is needed to mitigate these factors.
