Calibration Training
Improve Your Decision-Making with Subjective Probability Assessments
HDR has calibrated thousands of subject matter experts and top decision makers. They represent organizations and professions as varied as government policy, military logistics, project management, cybersecurity, risk management, pharmaceuticals and finance, to name a few.
Discover Hubbard Decision Research’s fully automated, self-paced Calibration Training! Elevate your ability to make subjective probability assessments and improve your decision-making skills with our state-of-the-art calibration platform. This training is essential for anyone involved in quantitative risk analysis, forecasting, or decision-making where uncertainty is a key factor.
Real-World Applications
By the end of the training, you will be able to make estimates where your confidence level reflects real uncertainty. For instance, when you say you are 90% confident, you will be correct 90% of the time.
This skill is crucial for populating real business models with accurate subjective estimates and enhancing the credibility and effectiveness of your organization’s strategic planning and analysis.
Measurable Improvement: Participants will see a significant improvement in their ability to assess probabilities accurately. Surveys indicate that subjective estimates are used in over 80% of stochastic models for business decisions. Yet, without calibration, these estimates often lead to underestimated risks. Our training ensures your assessments are accurate, thereby enhancing the overall quality of your organizational decisions.
The Value of Calibration Training
Calibration training significantly enhances the accuracy of subjective probability assessments, reducing overconfidence and other cognitive biases. This leads to more reliable decision-making and improved outcomes in business, risk analysis, and forecasting.
