My guest is a friend of the show who has appeared four times before (links below).
Professor Magda Osman is a Professor of Basic & Applied Decision-Making at Leeds Business School. She's a psychologist by training, with a specific interest in decision-making under risk and uncertainty, folk beliefs in the unconscious, as well as an interest in examining the effectiveness of methods of behavioural change.
In our discussion, we explore:
- why we need to prioritise risk and the challenges of doing so;
- the benefits of group wisdom, and the reasons we might not always find it;
- the risks posed by a need to drive for consensus;
- how social dynamics influence decision-making;
- the power of cognitive diversity
