As a member of the Vistage Speakers Bureau and a Daniels Fellow, Matt Brady is instructing current and future business leaders on the value and importance of Decision Science via the #DecideBetter curriculum.

Matt will provide a series of talks on decision-making for executives, called "Decide Better: Decision Science for Leaders". This engaging seminar will immerse participants in the mindsets, frameworks, and platforms of decision science and behavioral economics. He is one of many Vistage speakers that has committed to educating, equipping, and encouraging CEOs and Executives.

How do you decide who to assign to a key account, when a phase-gate has sufficient support to proceed, or which projects to execute next? Chances are, you rely on intuition... which could otherwise be known as habits, biases, and, group-think. What if you could elevate your decision-making... to decide using information. To decide better?

This presentation will engage the audience with real examples of how leading companies are using structured Decision Science techniques, and how individuals, teams, and entire organizations can be empowered to use these techniques. Further, demonstrations of how Behavioral Science can be incorporated to allow for qualitative aspects like post-mortems (and pre-mortems!).
