What goes into human decision-making? If you listened to the previous episode of the show with Dr Melina Moleskis on decision-making, then you\u2019ll know what\u2019s coming next. \xa0 If you didn\u2019t, then don\u2019t worry; you can listen to that after this.

My guest on this episode is Ben Cattaneo, a friend of the show and the founder of The Decision-Making Studio, a startup that helps clients to make better decisions.\xa0

In our discussion, we pick up some of the themes I discussed with Melina and explore others.\xa0Since Ben\u2019s background is in risk \u2014 he hosts the All Things Risk podcast \u2014 we explore how, in an uncertain world, making good decisions is critical.\xa0

On the episode, you'll hear about:\xa0

• Ben's experiences of founding The Decision Making Studio;
  
  
• the importance of integrating human elements into decision-making processes;
  
  
• the FOCUS framework for improving decision quality;
  
  
• the need to blend art and science in making decisions;
  
  
• the flaws in classic MBA case studies for teaching decision-making and the benefits of looking at less-known examples for deeper insights;
  
  
• the need to shift towards embracing uncertainty as a natural part of decision-making;
  
  
• the complexity and importance of decision-making in both personal and organizational contexts.

and much more.
