It has been estimated that the average adult makes over 30,000 decisions per day. Which is a mind-blowing number. While some of these may be small or boring, the majority of these decisions shape who we are and the impact we have on this world. Given how impactful these decisions are, it’s critical that we get as many of them right as possible. Not only do we need to try to make the right decisions, but we need to make them quickly. So how do we make the right decision at the right time, well, that is what we are going to tackle in this session titled: The Art and Science of Decision Making: How to Make the Right Call at the Right Time. Our expert guest today is Andrew Danielsen, the Chief Business Development Officer for Mayo Clinic.


 


The three big questions we have for Andy are:


1. What are the key elements needed for us to make a good decision?


2. Why do so many of us struggle to make effective decisions in a timely way?


3. What concrete practices can we adopt to improve both decision quality and timing in work, home, and leadership settings?
