Stop Deciding by Gut Alone

You make thousands of decisions daily. Most are routine. But the ones that matter — career changes, business pivots, major purchases, hiring decisions — deserve better than a gut feeling and a pros-and-cons list on a napkin.

AI doesn’t make decisions for you. It makes your decision process rigorous: structuring options, exposing hidden assumptions, quantifying tradeoffs, and challenging the biases you don’t know you have.

This course gives you a decision-making toolkit:

  • Frameworks — Weighted matrices, decision trees, and reversibility analysis
  • Bias detection — Identifying the mental shortcuts that lead you astray
  • Risk analysis — Scenario planning, expected value, and pre-mortem thinking
  • High-stakes decisions — When the wrong choice has serious consequences
  • Group decisions — Avoiding groupthink and building stakeholder alignment
  • Speed calibration — Knowing when to decide quickly and when to slow down

What You'll Learn

  • Apply structured decision frameworks (weighted matrix, pros-cons-mitigations, decision trees) using AI assistance
  • Identify cognitive biases that distort your judgment and use AI as a debiasing tool
  • Analyze risks and uncertainties systematically using scenario planning and expected value thinking
  • Evaluate complex tradeoffs by separating facts from emotions and short-term from long-term impacts
  • Design group decision processes that avoid groupthink and leverage diverse perspectives
  • Build a personal decision system for recurring choices in career, finances, and life
