Talent and Leadership consultancy, Vybrant unlock why smart and experienced leaders make flawed deci

Aug. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Vybrant have collaborated with ‘Think Again’ expert, Jo Whitehead and corporate strategist Sune Fraes Diernaes to create a hands-on approach to support leaders making critical decisions.  Think Again shows how our brains can mislead us and provides a practical methodology for safeguarding against flawed decision-making processes.

Why is Think Again so important in the current climate?
The economic crisis means many business and public sector leaders are making more critical decisions now than at any point in the last two decades. Their choices impact not only jobs and budgets, but safety, health and the long term future of people and communities.

The disastrous impact of a poor decision is abundantly clear after the event, but many of these decisions were made by smart, experienced leaders with access to good quality information and enough time to consider all options.

So why do smart, experienced leaders make bad decisions?  Our brains have learnt to take shortcuts which can derail the decision making process.  Think Again offers a powerful model for identifying these risks and safeguarding against them.

Think Again: launched in July 2010
At a public event on 14th July 2010, Jo Whitehead, Director Ashridge Strategic Management Centre, Sune Fraes Diernaes, Corporate Strategist at MT Hojgaard and Jon Cook of the Vybrant Think Again team showcased their breakthrough research into how good executives avoid making bad decisions – and how leaders can safeguard against it.

As well as listening to the speakers, the attendees of the event at the Museum of Docklands, London, participated in a hands-on Think Again activity.  Alan Sears of Vybrant was keen to involve the attendees, encouraging them to develop and explore their opinions and experiences.

“It’s always been at the heart of our ethos to seek out really good research and turn it into practical tools to help people lead and manage their organisations better, so we were delighted when Jo chose to work with Vybrant to develop the Think Again methodology and take it to market.  The need to understand that the risks we are exposed to have never been greater, and making good decisions has surely never been higher on the leadership agenda.   The really exciting thing about Think Again is the discovery that, more often than not, we are completely blind to the very factors that are leading us into making flawed decisions, but that there are ways to compensate for that and make sure we make the best possible decisions.”  Alan Sears, Vybrant’s Head Honcho.
