Deadly Decisions

Exploring the roots of contemporary financial crises, the book delves into historical disasters like Enron, the Iraq War, and the Challenger Shuttle explosion to uncover how informed decision-makers can misjudge reality. Christopher Burns, an expert in information management, examines the biology of the brain, group dynamics, and organizational structures to explain the phenomenon of "virtual truth." He seeks to provide practical insights into why well-intentioned experts often arrive at catastrophic conclusions based on flawed assumptions.
