Situational Awareness Matters!™


Helping individuals and teams understand human factors,
reduce the impact of situational awareness barriers,
and improve decision making under stress.

It is a widely held belief that the best decisions are made without the interference of emotions. Economists and statisticians alike stand fast to this belief – the best decisions are made with using pure logic. Facts and formulas lead to the most rational decisions.

But do they? Image for a moment if the emotional control center of a person’s brain were removed. Would that person then make better decisions? We’ll review a medical case that answers this question.
