    About this ebook

    Science reassures, art disturbs (Proverb)
    This intriguing exploration of underlying forces in decision making takes as its starting point a wealth of high profile decision disasters. In brilliantly readable analyses, Helga Drummond shows how better awareness of the inherent uncertainties of the decision making process could have made the outcomes very different.
    Examples showcased include:
    The Hatfield rail crash
    The Kursk submarine disaster
    The Challenger disaster
    The year 2000 fuel crisis
    The WWII Dardanelles expedition
    The Barings Bank collapse
    The Taurus Stock Exchange Project The Hillsborough tragedy
    The King's Cross underground fire
    The Millennium Dome
    This entertaining yet instructive book offers new insight into the realities of decision making, and shows how you can confront them to improve your prospects of success.
