Leading Effective Decision-Making

Confront complex decisions with confidence, adjust decision velocity to the demands of the situation, and enable intelligent risk-taking.

Stepping into a leadership role means addressing pivotal decisions while contending with an ever-expanding range of considerations and managing a quickly shifting landscape. 

Leading Effective Decision-Making prepares executives to provide structure and clarity to uncertain situations, incorporate a broad range of perspectives and inputs to surface previously undiscovered options, evaluate those options in a systematic and data-driven way, assess potential risks, and balance risks and rewards to generate high-return decisions for their business. 

The result: participants will make pivotal decisions with structure and clarity, a broad range of perspectives, and the ability to balance risk and reward. Self-paced modules drive the course and are accompanied by three live sessions with Yale faculty. In addition, guest speaker Indra Nooyi’s work at PepsiCo is used as a case study throughout the program, and exclusive video discussions walk participants step-by-step through her decision-making process. 

The program is delivered online in collaboration with our online program partner, ExecOnline. ExecOnline provides a digital learning solution tailored to best deliver Yale’s research and expertise.
