Course Topic：How Maintain an Open Mind and be More Creative in Our Own Opinions?

Course Introduction：We make countless decisions every day. Most of them are small and easy to make, for example deciding whether we go to work early or not, or whether we should process this email first or that one. But some decisions are important, for example allocating budgets, saying yes or no to clients or colleagues, or identifying and selecting strategic options. However, the way we make the big decisions can be biased and irrational. We will review a few of these biases and then see ways of organizing the process of making decisions in such a way that we can maintain an open mind and be more creative in the way we create our own options.
