Making Great Decisions

Google Tech Talks
September, 24 2007

ABSTRACT

The phrase "work smarter, not harder" has been repeatedly ridiculed in Dilbert and elsewhere, not because it is a poor idea, but because it is thrown like a brick lifesaver to drowning employees. It's like telling someone to be happier, healthier, and richer. What people need is a plan for doing so.

In "Making Great Decisions" the authors show readers how to achieve their objectives. They offer a better way to look at problems so that solutions are easier to find.

Speaker: David R. Henderson, Ph.D.
David R. Henderson is an economics professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey and a research fellow with the Hoover Institution at Stanford. He was a senior economist with President Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers.

Speaker: Charles L. Hooper
Charles L. Hooper is President and co-founder of Objective Insights, Inc., a consulting firm dedicated to providing health care companies with marketing and financial analysis to help them make informed decisions about their business opportunities.

Decisions, decisions. Should I watch this Tech talk or not..?

[ikikennogeensik]

Decision making is quite interesting and there are some good examples in this video, but again, and that is what I always see in all the books and talks on decision making, it´s always about money, about choosing products, and such.

Life is not all about money.

I´d like to know about decision making for your study, your job, your lovelife. Those things that are not all about the money.

Too bad.

blah blah blah blah... nothing really told.... 

[jovlad2020]

just a combination of stories told without really talking about decision making. a TED Talk could be worth listening to. I wasted my time with two academic bablers.
