Decision-Making Under Pressure in the Era of AI
This session brings together real project scenarios, practical AI use cases, and two environments where decision-making becomes brutally honest and impossible to disguise: poker tables and international travel.
Poker reveals how people behave when stakes rise, information is incomplete, every minute demands a decision, and every choice quietly shifts the balance.
Travel shows what happens when leaders enter an unfamiliar system — new rules, unfamiliar context, and no time to understand the landscape — mirroring the conditions of modern project environments.
Seen together, they show why even experienced leaders fall back into instinctive patterns under pressure, and what it takes to build a decision-making system that stays stable when the environment doesn’t.
This session is designed for leaders who navigate uncertainty and complexity every day.
