Plenary
Good ideas need more than buy-in, they need traction. This session unpacks how decisions really get made inside institutions, and how you can position your work to influence outcomes at any level. Learn how to apply principles from decision science to communicate with clarity, frame choices effectively, and become a trusted advisor to leadership, even if you’re not in the room where decisions happen.
