Mithun A. Sridharan:
Mayday! Mayday! Decision-making under Duress
Similarly, today, business leaders and executives operate in a turbulent business environment, marked by geo-political crises, changing marketplace conditions, technological breakthroughs that dirupt industries, and more. Consequently, the ability to make critical decisions under duress, i.e. scenarios where stakes are high and the consequences of decisions far-reaching is not longer a nice-to-have, but a key leadership trait. In the high-stakes, high-pressure scenarios, such as navigating a market crash, handling a security breach, managing a product recall, tackling a global pandemic or guiding team through a turnaround, Leaders need to make split-second decisions, often under uncertainty. The ability to make sound, justificable and reproducible decisions under pressure with long-term impact is not only a valuable Leadership trait, but also an existential necessity. The ramifications of such decisions on an organization's ecosystem is profound, affecting employees, partners, suppliers, customers, and more.
The talk, based on Mithun´s new book, titled: "Mayday! Mayday! Decision-making under duress" will equip you with proven frameworks - derived from aviation incidents - to effectively and efficiently deal with mission-critical environments. This talk will introduce leading decision-making frameworks used by pilots and aviation professionals to help you navigate uncertainty, manage risk and ensure effective action, especially during Mayday scenarios.
 
The event is free of charge. Participants ear 2 pdu for the full  attendance.

The journey continues, the Böblingen regulars' table meets again.

✴️ The biggest problem with project effort estimation isn't human error. It's the lack of a consistent, objective model that can handle complexity and customized projects.

The solution?
A neural network model for effort estimation. It involves training an artificial intelligence with historical project data to predict future effort with greater accuracy.
