In Conversation with Susan Stiehm
Hear Susan Stiehm, former VP, Strategy Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as she explores “How we think vs. What we think”: How Critical Thinking tools can improve the quality of judgements at Central Banks and beyond, at UTS Business School.
Susan will be in conversation with UTS Business School's Dr Lorenzo Casavecchia discussing “How we think vs. What we think”: How Critical Thinking tools can improve the quality of judgements at Central Banks and beyond on Thursday 9 February 2023, presented by the UTS Finance Department.
Critical thinking is the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgement. This session will focus on not only what goes wrong when forming judgements, according to cognitive and complexity scientists, but also potential ways to improve the quality of judgements.
Susan will evaluate the merits of critical thinking approaches (e.g., scoping perspectives, question generation, forecasting tournaments, and post-mortems) and discuss how a dedicated team at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is working on adapting these approaches to the work of central banking.
