Details

This session blends short evidence based insights with simple exercises that show how cognitive load and adult learning principles work in everyday decision making. Participants will work through brief case scenarios from leadership, education and innovation contexts, identifying sources of overload and redesigning decisions, workflows and communication for greater clarity and ease.

Attendees will discuss approaches drawn from design thinking, dual-coding and experiential learning to reduce mental friction, simplify information and create healthier systems for themselves and their teams. The focus is on improving clarity, supporting wellbeing and reducing burnout by making decision making more intentional. Everyone leaves with practical strategies they’ve already practised in the room, ready to apply immediately.
