What you'll learn

Leaders often have to make consequential decisions before they have all the information they need, and waiting can be just as costly as being wrong. In this course, Data-driven Leadership: Deciding Under Uncertainty, you’ll gain the ability to make and defend consequential decisions on imperfect data without stalling or overclaiming. First, you’ll explore how to judge when the evidence in hand is genuinely sufficient and when waiting is worth its cost. Next, you’ll discover how to calibrate your confidence to the strength of your evidence and size the cost of being wrong before you commit. Finally, you’ll learn how to defend your decision with transparent reasoning and use an AI assistant to stress-test it before you act. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of decision-making under uncertainty needed to lead decisively when the evidence is imperfect and the stakes are real.
