#03 How to learn strategic thinking in 34 minutes

This episode was recorded in German.

Christian Underwood in conversation with Jürgen Weigand, Deputy Dean of WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management and a recognized expert in corporate and competitive strategy

In this episode, we talk with Jürgen about how to make better strategic decisions, why humility is a success factor, and whether computers will be developing our strategies tomorrow. The human brain loves to fall into thinking traps. Especially in complex situations that call for strategic decisions, we slip into learned behavior patterns or fall back on what experience has taught us. Not every available option gets a serious look. Which raises the question: could computers with artificial intelligence decide better for us? How to train strategic thinking and action to make better decisions, and why it matters to decide what you don't want to do, is what you'll hear in our new Hope Is Not a Strategy episode, "Leading Strategies."
