Private Talk with Emre Soyer

Decision making - Deceived by experience: Learning the right lessons to improve decisions

Join the ESSEC EMBA participants for an exceptional evening with Emre Soyer, entrepreneur and behavioural scientist

In business and life, experience is deemed essential for an accurate understanding of the world. We often feel confident and at ease with experience based decisions. We want leaders with outstanding track records and managers who have worked in relevant fields. Yet experience can be filtered or distorted in a wide variety of ways, reinforcing misperceptions instead of eliminating them, without us being aware. By recognising this fundamental problem, we can design mechanisms that would help us and our organizations learn the right lessons from experience and improve their decision outcomes.
