Mastering decision dynamics in the boardroom.
Board Workshop
In the high-stakes game of business, decision-making at the board level often feels like a game of poker—shaped by uncertainty, hidden biases, and the illusion of control. But how do you separate skill from luck, and strategy from guesswork?
Our workshop, The Board’s Bet, draws parallels with poker to reveal the biases that distort information, the structured approaches to smarter decisions, and the role of luck in outcomes. Learn why judging decisions by results alone is a flawed approach and how to break free from the illusion of control.
