Duke London Offices

The Duke Alumni Association and Duke Europe Office have great pleasure in inviting you to an evening with Professor Ralph Keeney on Friday, November 13, 2009 from 7:00 p.m. (*) This will be an opportunity for you to catch up with Duke alumni located in London, visit the Duke London offices (if you haven't already done so), and hear from one of Duke's most celebrated professors. Professor Keeney is a world-renowned Fuqua research professor of decision sciences. In his talk Insights from Decision Science to Help You Make Better Decisions, he will outline a systematic way to think through complex decisions. He will discuss and illustrate several shortcomings of relying on intuition alone for important decisions and suggest how you can complement intuition with ideas and techniques from decision science. Decision science is concerned with helping individuals and organizations make better decisions. This is important because the only way that you can purposefully influence the quality of your life, your family, your organization, your country, or your world is through the decisions you make.
