How to Take the Guess Work out of Expert Judgment
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
Most humans can be quite technically minded. And sometimes we aren't. Sometimes, we expect every drug or medical procedure to be checked, approved, validated, and tested on other people (et cetera) before subjecting ourselves to whatever our doctor suggests. At other times, we spend lots of money at casinos (note that I said spend' and not invest' or win'). When it comes to reliability, we can sometimes be too technically minded. A reliability number' might not exist until our product has undergone exhaustive testing. Which can often be two years too late to do anything about if it turns out it doesn't meet all our reliability dreams. So what can we do? Well why spend money trying to generate information (through lengthy tests) when you can use the information stored in everyone's brain? The most common answer (even if we don't want to admit it) is that this sounds like guesswork. And guesswork can sound unprofessional. Or it’s just wrong. But there are ways you can suck out information from a group of experts in a quantifiable and remarkably accurate way. Want to learn more? This webinar introduces you to some of the concepts that might interest you.
