| Session format: | Tutorial (75 mins) [read about the different session types] | ||
| Abstract: | This session introduces the subject of Real Options and how they can be applied to virtually any decision that needs to be made. This session is about changing peoples mindset and behavior. Started out as a quest to price real options, we found a rational decision making process based on maths and logic rather than emotion, feelings and intuition. Leaving this session people discover options where they have not seen them before. Decision making after this session will never be the same again. | ||
| Audience background: | All can attend. Anyone who makes decisions. Previous audiences include Managers, Project Managers, Developers, Artists, Nurses, Business Consultants and Management Consultants | ||
| Benefits of participating: | Leaving this session people discover options where they have not seen them before. Decision making after this session will never be the same again. | ||
| Materials provided: | Slides and material needed for the game we run at the start of the session. | ||
| Process: | Both presenters are experienced in organizing interactive presentations and discussions. Although we say 'Presentation' and we use some slides as placeholders, the way we work is highly interactive and includes games, presentation, discussion , case studies | ||
