Decision making: The fine art of making the right choices

In our fast-paced and demanding world, we are constantly faced with decisions—big and small—that shape our academic, professional, and personal lives. Yet, making the right choice can be especially challenging when we are under pressure or overwhelmed by options. Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler, authors of the international bestseller "The Decision Book"—translated into 25 languages— offer practical insights into why decision-making is so difficult and how we can navigate it more effectively. In their entertaining and informative presentation on a chalkboard, they share effective tools to help everyone—whether you're studying, working, or managing personal responsibilities—make better decisions.

Krogerus & Tschäppeler met in 1999 at a Danish business school, attending the leadership programme The Kaospilots. They have been friends, professional partners and backgammon enemies ever since.
