Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

And it forces people to be better prepared.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

Except people don't want this.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

So I don't know whether it's even possible to implement it.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

But clearly, if you could, it would be a good idea.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

Yeah.

And then, you know, there's somebody who is going to prepare the case.

And so I glance at the material and then, you know, so a lot of meetings are tremendously succinct for wasted time.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

And improving the quality of meetings would be a big thing.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

Keeping them short.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

You know, I'm not a professional at fixing meetings, so I have a few ideas but not a complete view.

The Knowledge Project

The question of structuring the meetings to be discussing topics one at a time, that I think is really useful.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

I'll give you an example.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

I mean, it's something that I suggested when I was consulting, but for some reason, people didn't buy that suggestion.

So when an investment is being discussed, say, by an investment firm, some staff people, if it's a big investment, staff people will prepare a briefing book.

with chapters.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

Now, our recommendation would be that the staff should end each chapter with a score.

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

How does that chapter, taken on its own, independently of anything else, affect the likely decision?

The Knowledge Project
Daniel Kahneman: Algorithms Make Better Decisions Than You

And then you could structure the meeting that discusses this and

The Knowledge Project

the meeting of the boards, to discuss these scores one at a time.

The Knowledge Project

That has the effect that I was talking about earlier, making the decision, making the judgments about the dimensions.
