Strategic decision-making is a critical skill for business leaders in a volatile world. Every day, leaders are faced with countless high-pressure decisions that shape the direction and long-term success of their organisations. In this digital-first world, leaders have unprecedented access to an abundance of data and information, both internal and external, related to market, social and economic trends, technological advances, and political and regulatory changes. The ability to leverage these enormous data sources and generate real-time actionable insights has never been more important for reducing uncertainty and providing a solid foundation for decision-making.
Many leading organisations are already successfully using emerging technologies such as data analytics tools, automation, ML and AI to lighten the decision-making load. And the impacts can be seen throughout the entire decision-making journey; from identifying a previously hidden problem or opportunity to gathering relevant information, offering solutions and even analysing alternatives. Generative AI tools or co-pilots are already being used in organisations to answer questions and act as advisory or sounding boards for leaders. As ML algorithms are trained to learn from data over time, they are a vital predictor of future outcomes, enabling leaders to make more informed decisions.
However, the tools alone are not enough, and businesses must consider important questions around human judgement and trust, not to mention data quality and security. The pressure to make the right decisions is real. Join us at our online Chief Disruptor Breakfast Club discussion Optimise decision-making in a volatile world to explore the different ways leaders are using emerging technologies to optimise their decision-making in a volatile world.
