Virtual Reception Talks: Decision-Making Under Uncertainty

When uncertainty is paramount most decision-makers feel let down by their intelligence staff. Let’s network and casually discuss strategies to counter “unknowns” in our environments. Critical thinking approaches should provide a good starting point to gear up.

Case Challenge:

Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH)

Often Competitive/Market Intelligence professionals face a specific challenge: Competing hypotheses prevent decision-making!

Uncertainty, biases, and information overload at least paralyze – and in a worst case even stall – decision-making.

How can we cut through uncertainty and provide a way forward?

Here the process – analysis of competing hypotheses (ACH) – provides a hands-on, proven concept!

Once registered, participants will receive a case study describing a specific business situation, including some background information on the ACH methodology. Participants are asked to develop a solution to the questions at stake and submit their analysis.

Impressions from previous conferences

During this process, an online forum will be available for the participants, where they can ask questions about the content and the ACH methodology. The challenge organizers will provide feedback for submissions and request that you prepare a presentation for our challenge day on May 31, 2022.

Participants who don’t find time to work on the case upfront, will enjoy insightful applications of this ACH methodology!

Finally, the audience will vote for the best ACH approach, hence ICI’s analytical challenge prize will be awarded!
