HOW TO THINK ABOUT THINKING: SURPRISES AND APPLICATIONS OF HUMAN DECISION MAKING

Behavioural scientists estimate that we make about 35,000 conscious decisions every day. As we do not have the time to evaluate each single decision at length, our brains have developed cognitive shortcuts so we can make those decisions more efficiently. While this saves us loads of time and effort, it is unfortunately very prone to error. Often we make sub-optimal choices without even realising it.
In this webinar, we will explain:
• How our brain processes information and how these shortcuts are sometimes influenced by our environment
• How some of the most common cognitive biases prevent us from making the optimal decision
• How awareness of the limitations of human decision making can help you improve business performance

These days, almost every procurement organisation is struggling to keep up with the rising complexity and dynamics of global supply chains that stem from a rise in both innovation and disruption.
While software tools are already widely used in transactional work to keep up, decision makers are still widely underutilising digital solutions when it comes to setting and implementing commodity strategies.
In our webinar, we will explain why the traditional way of commodity strategy setting is an ill fit for modern Procurement and how digital tools can empower decision makers to bring strategy setting into the 21st century.
