Keynote Presentation: Strategic Luck

Is luck a coincidence, a twist of fate, or just a gift that some are simply born with? Jonathan Brill, international bestselling author and scholar on decision making, will debunk the myth that luck is fate. Based on the largest study on decision-making under uncertainty, Brill will describe the four simple skills needed to create strategic luck from scratch — in any situation.
