Print this page Decision Making Under Ambiguity

Many important decisions must be made without having all the facts. How can one make good decisions in ambiguous situations? This course explores how to recognise and respond to situations where information is incomplete, uncertain or ambiguous. Participants will learn the difference between uncertainty and ambiguity, how ambiguity shapes perception and judgement, and practical approaches for making more considered decisions. Through discussion and examples, the course examines real-world challenges drawn from professional and personal life. Designed for anyone who wants to improve judgement in complex situations, the course provides practical frameworks that can be applied immediately.
