Even the best executives are subject to making predictable errors that affect their organizations and their careers negatively. Many of these errors relate to how CEOs think about decisions in the face of substantial uncertainty.
The colloquium presentations were led by researchers Charles Holt, A. Willis Robertson Professor of Political Economy at the University of Virginia; and Gary Charness, Assistant Professor of Economics, University of California, Santa Barbara. Holt and Charness challenged participants to understand the biases that come into play in making strategic decisions, and apply this knowledge to their work in credit unions.

At the CCUL Big Valley Conference, I was told we could get a free report at: www.filene.org/free/bigvalley. However, that URL does not work. Can you tell my how to get my free copy of “Strategy Errors and i3 Innovations”?
