SMP LeaderTalks

23. June 2022

Georgiy Michailov meets Prof. Dr. Dr. Dietrich Dörner

56 Min

The combination of psychology, artificial intelligence and the simulation of complex decision-making situations has made Professor Dr Dietrich Dörner an exceptional figure in psychological research, and a much sought-after interview partner for Georgiy Michailov, Managing Partner with Struktur Management Partner. Together they explore the question of what indefinite complexity does to people, and why we keep making the same mistakes because of our failure to take side effects and distant effects into account. The key thing is correct assessment of oneself and the situation. In order to burst our own filter bubble, we need people who analyse, keep cool, and are prepared to lay a finger in the wound. Dörner wants us to understand events in their context. And at the same time he warns us not to overgeneralise our own successes and success strategies. How we can train operational intelligence to make it a success factor in decision-making – this and much more is what you will hear in this podcast.
