Virtual Masterclass with Daniel Kahneman
A three-hour working session on 21 September 2021
A Masterclass on Noise & The Art of Critical Thinking
“One of the major biases in risky decision-making is optimism. Optimism is a source of high-risk thinking.” - Daniel Kahneman
On 21 September, the iconic psychologist will share an intensive lesson on critical thinking. Kahneman, a Nobel Prize winner, will elaborate the key ideas from his new book Noise – A Flaw in Human Judgement.
Over the course, he will answer questions such as:
- What is Noise and how does it affect our judgement?
- How can we reduce noise to make better (business) decisions?
The Concept of Noise
by Daniel Kahneman
Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients—or that two judges in the same courthouse give markedly different sentences to people who have committed the same crime. Suppose that different interviewers at the same firm make different decisions about indistinguishable job applicants—or that when a company is handling customer complaints, the resolution depends on who happens to answer the phone.
Now imagine that the same doctor, the same judge, the same interviewer, or the same customer service agent makes different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday. These are examples of noise: variability in judgments that should be identical.
Watch a conversation about Noise with Daniel Kahneman and his co-authors.
