Through real-world scenarios, they explore ethical reasoning, values clarification, and how integrity and organizational pressures shape decisions. The course examines cognitive biases, flawed data interpretation, and other common causes of poor decisions, and introduces structured approaches to reduce risk and improve decision quality. Learners also build skills in leading team decision-making processes that align with organizational strategy and values. By the end of the course, learners will be able to assess ethical challenges, anticipate decision risks, and guide teams toward thoughtful, responsible, and effective decisions.
