5-Day Executive Program: Leadership in a Digital Age
Program Description
What are good decision strategies in the digital age? Even in today's data-driven world, the business magazine The Economist finds that more than two-thirds of senior managers rely on their intuition. Our leadership program is based on 30 years of world-leading research, spearheaded by the Max Planck Institute for Human Development under Prof. Gerd Gigerenzer, one of the most influential psychologists in the world today.
You will gain an in-depth understanding of when and why gut instinct and intuition can be powerful tools, how less information and complexity can drive better decisions in dynamic and uncertain environments when new modes of work such as agile management will be effective, and when to use Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Find out how to maximize the innovative potential of your organization and create the conditions for sustained growth. The program also provides a unique platform for networking with like-minded managers from around the world by exploring Berlin as Europe ́s leading digital start-up capital and cultural hotbed.
