What the decision-Making Training in the canton of Zurich programme covers

The decision-Making Training in the canton of Zurich programme is designed for managers, executives and key contributors who want to turn decision-making into everyday practice. Content is built around real situations from your organisation rather than generic case studies, so that each session connects directly with the decisions your teams face in the canton of Zurich.

Core themes typically include: Biais cognitifs; Scénarios & options; Revue post-décision. Each theme is adapted after a scoping conversation with your HR team and the sponsoring manager, so that the programme addresses the gaps you actually observe.

A method grounded in research and practice

Our approach combines short theoretical inputs drawn from peer-reviewed research, practical exercises, role plays and structured feedback. Participants work on their own cases, test new behaviours in a safe setting and leave with concrete commitments they can apply the following week.

Between sessions, short assignments help anchor what has been learned. A follow-up review a few weeks later measures what has changed in practice and identifies where further support is useful.

Who should attend the decision-Making Training in the canton of Zurich

The programme suits first-line managers, experienced team leaders, project managers and executive committees alike. Groups are kept small to allow real interaction, and the level of depth is calibrated to participants' experience.

Sessions take place on your premises in the canton of Zurich, in a rented venue or remotely, in French, German, Italian or English depending on your teams.
