We share what we are learning through conferences, professional forums, workshops, podcasts, and conversations with people working on similar questions in research and practice.
Coming Up
The Decision Intelligence Zone
Podcast, first episodes September 2026
The Decision Intelligence Zone explores how people make better decisions when the answer is not obvious.
Hosted by Magda du Preez and Christi Mertens, the conversations bring together research, practice, and the experience of people making consequential decisions in the real world. Topics include judgment under uncertainty, risk, emotion, bias, leadership, AI, and what it means to keep human agency as increasingly capable technology enters the decision process.
Strengthening Risk Appraisal Under Pressure
Cape Town CPD Peer Network | September 17, 2026
Magda du Preez and industrial psychologist Sonica Mouton examine why our ability to see and assess risk can deteriorate under pressure, and what leaders can do about it.
The session draws on current research in decision science, organizational behavior and affect to explore risk perception, emotion and judgment, and human-AI decision-making. It concludes with practical approaches for identifying accumulating risk earlier and making more deliberate trade-offs.
