Executive MBA Taster Session: Managing Under Uncertainty

Bush House, , London

29 Jun taster-session-managing-uncertainty Part of Executive Education at King's Business School

We live in a world that is characterised by high levels of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. One way to manage this is to create models, which we can use to describe and analyse situations, to test options and to inform decision-making, and we’ve seen these grow in sophistication and influence in recent years.

In this taster session, we’ll be exploring the strengths and limitations of models, and thinking about how we can use them most effectively under conditions of radical uncertainty.
