Webinar: Decision Making in Chemical Engineering: Lead with Insight, Act with Purpose

Overview

Every day, chemical engineering leaders make decisions that affect safety, performance, and innovation. The challenge isn’t just choosing, but choosing wisely – under pressure, with limited data, and in complex systems. Great leaders don’t avoid tough decisions; they master them.

This session is designed for managers and executives who want to sharpen their decision-making edge. We will explore:

• the balance between data, expertise, and intuition in complex decisions
• how to weigh risks and opportunities with confidence
• techniques for inclusive and transparent decision-making
• building decision-making processes that support long-term success.

Decisions define leaders. When you decide with purpose, you don’t just solve today’s problems – you set tomorrow’s direction.

This webinar is part of a series with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), the only body that can award Chartered Manager status, the highest accolade for leaders. For over 75 years, CMI has inspired and equipped managers to grow into confident, successful leaders, shaping the future of modern management.
