Quantitative Intuition™: Making Smarter Decisions with Imperfect Information

On any given workday, business leaders are faced with an ongoing and billowing stream of data and information. Every day, they and their team are required to make hundreds to thousands of business decisions.

Often these decisions are made based on previous experiences, "business as usual," or staying in your comfort zone instead of synthesizing new and existing data and insights. The challenge then is: How can executives decipher the meaningful information from the clutter? How can they ensure that they make an impact for their business against the flush of information washing over them? How can they become catalysts of change?

The popular answer often is to improve the analytical skills and tools of your team. But the true challenge is for executives to manage their team in an increasingly analytical business environment and to improve their ability to quickly extract, compile, and synthesize pieces of imperfect information to make smarter decisions.

In Quantitative Intuition™: Making Smarter Decisions with Imperfect Information, participants learn how to make bold decisions with incomplete information via precision questioning and business acumen driven by pattern recognition.

This Quantitative Intuition™ framework – developed exclusively by the faculty directors of this program – teaches participants how to develop a parallel view of the issues that matter rather than just a logical sequence of thoughts to evaluate the situation as a whole. You will walk away from the program with the competencies to help you make smarter, data-driven decisions under uncertainty.

The program enables executives to acquire the skills needed to develop Quantitative Intuition™, toppling conventional wisdom that you need to be a numbers whiz to make sound, fact-based decisions.

Program participants will:

• learn how to gather, understand, and find value in data across the business continuum
• become proficient in extracting meaningful insights
• develop a set of pragmatic communication techniques
• return to your organization with the competencies to make more informed decisions and lead change

An important aspect of the program involves getting hands-on experience with data-driven decision making through multiple practical exercises, allowing participants to immediately apply the concepts upon their return to the organization.

In addition, one program session is also entirely devoted to the implications for executives of making decisions and managing talent in the field of artificial intelligence, or AI.

This is not a program about data analysis software tools. Rather, participants will learn to formulate critical business questions to effectively frame issues, make better decisions, and drive their organization's strategy forward.

In this webinar about Quantitative Intuition™, the faculty share examples of where they have seen QI drive significant revenue for an organization:

The program is taught workshop style using a combination of lectures, guest speakers, and in-class exercises. Throughout the program, the participants will work on a group project that will provide an opportunity to integrate the steps in developing Quantitative Intuition™ discussed in the program. Program sessions will be devoted to exploring the material through analysis of cases and applying the concepts to real-world situations.

The program involves three components:

AI and QI

In a world where analytics and artificial intelligence are part of almost every business, one program session is also entirely devoted to the implications for executives of making decisions and managing talent in the field of artificial intelligence, or AI.
