<\/p>\n\n

On January 31, 2025, the CA iTalk live<\/strong> of the CA controller akademie took place – with great success! Our Managing Director Philipp Wicke<\/strong> was there as a guest and discussed the highly topical subject together with Brigadier General Lutz Kuhn<\/strong> under the moderation of Jens Ropers<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n

“Deciding – How bias, data and emotions influence us.”<\/strong> (Program 37)<\/p>\n\n

Decision-making is a key issue in companies, especially in times of rapid change and an increasing flood of data. But how do we really make decisions? What factors influence us – consciously or unconsciously? And how can managers make better decisions? <\/p>\n\n

What factors influence decisions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

In the one-hour discussion, various types of decisions were highlighted:\u2705 Procedural decisions<\/strong> – predefined procedures and processes\u2705 Automated decisions<\/strong> – supported by algorithms or artificial intelligence\u2705 Intuitive decisions<\/strong> – based on experience and gut feeling\u2705 Analytical-rational decisions<\/strong> – data-supported and systematic<\/p>\n\n

A particular focus was on the tension between intuition and analysis<\/strong>. While data is becoming increasingly important, purely data-driven decisions are not always the best choice. Intuition and empirical knowledge play a decisive role – but must be consciously reflected upon in order to avoid cognitive biases<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Cognitive biases and decision traps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Philipp Wicke emphasized in the discussion:<\/p>\n\n

\n

“Decisions are heavily influenced by cognitive biases, data and emotions. There is a risk here, and we need to be aware of how these influences change the decision-making process. But the usefulness of heuristics and simple decision rules should not be underestimated.” <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

It is essential to be aware of these unconscious patterns, especially in the area of corporate management and controlling<\/strong>. Data helps us to make well-founded decisions – but it must be interpreted correctly. One-sided analyses or excessive trust in algorithms can lead to incorrect conclusions. At the same time, heuristics and empirical knowledge can offer valuable shortcuts in the decision-making process. <\/p>\n\n

We make countless decisions every day – around 35,000 according to scientific estimates – and it is impossible to consciously weigh up every single one of them. We make many decisions intuitively, without actively weighing up several options. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5658,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[64,62,65,63],"class_list":["post-5653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-bias-en","tag-controlling-en","tag-data","tag-decision-making-processes"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trusteddecisions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trusteddecisions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trusteddecisions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trusteddecisions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trusteddecisions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5653"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.trusteddecisions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8621,"href":"https:\/\/www.trusteddecisions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5653\/revisions\/8621"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trusteddecisions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trusteddecisions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trusteddecisions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.trusteddecisions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
