OVERVIEW:
Running a business rarely goes exactly according to plan. In this interactive workshop, you’ll work with peers to tackle a real-world business challenge, make decisions with incomplete information, and adapt when unexpected “plot twists” change the situation. Through creative activities, role-playing and problem-solving, you’ll practice responding to uncertainty, trusting your judgment and making decisions when there is no obvious right answer.
