The Business Management Department invites you to a talk about Better Decision Making through Randomness with Chris Butler. Using randomization methods feels counterintuitive to most people and comes in the form of the ‘certainty effect’ related to risk aversion. However, randomness guided by human intuition creates new and previously unimagined possibilities rather than noisy garbage. In this talk and following discussion, Chris Butler will show various times that he has leveraged randomness to make decision making more robust, resilient, and creative.
Sign up for the talk.
