Jerome Viro — keynote on strategic decision-making and cognitive bias

THE STRATEGIC CHALLENGE

Why do brilliant leaders sometimes make disastrous decisions? How do you secure your judgement when data is scarce and uncertainty prevails? In complex environments, rationality gives way to cognitive biases: memory anchoring, illusion of control, confirmation bias.

These blind spots are not mere errors of judgement — they are measurable industrial and financial costs.

WHAT YOUR TEAMS DISCOVER

Through the lens of mentalism, I simulate in real time the invisible mechanisms that distort your perceptions and compromise your strategic choices.
