Professor Magda Osman on Risk Prioritisation

Professor Magda Osman on Risk Prioritisation

How, in a world of limited resources, can we prioritise risk? Which ones should we focus on more than others?

This isn't just something we need to think about in a work context. It also applies to our personal lives; where should we spend our money, time and headspace?

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
and much, much more.
