Presentations
The depth of decision-making
by Dana Reizniece-Ozola (Latvia)
Grandmaster, served as minister of Economics (2014–2016) and minister of Finance (2016–2019) of the Republic of Latvia. Current managing director, Deputy Chair of the Management Board of the International Chess Federation (FIDE).
“Time is one of the most important factors in decision-making. In chess, you try to remember, calculate, analyze, sometimes rely on intuition, but then you really have to make the move. 20, 40, 60 and more times each game. The ability to make decisions and take responsibility related to those is an important skill in business. Procrastination is no good for business.”
Roundtable Discussion:
- Decision-making in chess, business, and the law. Similarities and differences.
- How can AI affect education and work
Presentations are expected to be recorded and made available online.
