Decision-Making for Safe and Supportive Teams (UKPN)

Drawing on experiences from polar fieldwork and mountain leadership, this talk explores how positive decision-making keeps teams safe and supported in challenging environments. It highlights key positive practises to guide decisions made in the field, flags heuristic traps and presents simple tools to guardrail against these pitfalls. While rooted in fieldwork, many of these lessons are broadly applicable to anyone working in team environments, including computer-based researchers & modellers.
