Pre-Conference Workshop 1.  ACHSM:

Decision Making for Leaders 
Professor Jill Klein, Melbourne Medical School & Melbourne Business School

Decision Making for Leaders
As we form judgments and make decisions we fall prey to predictable and consistent errors. These biases include the overconfidence bias, the confirmatory bias, the framing bias and the anchoring bias. Biases can impact the quality of our decisions and can escalate conflict. Fortunately, there are remedies that can be applied to avoid or overcome these biases.

This session will provide a discussion of cognitive biases and how we can manage them in order to make optimal decisions.

Ethics of the Everyday – with the seemingly endless roll-out of formal enquiries and investigations into organisational misbehaviour, ethics and integrity are at risk of becoming overused empty catchwords.

How much ethics is too much?
