CMCE Lecture: Judgement at Work

Good judgement is crucial for successful managers and business leaders. It governs major decisions and shapes company culture. But how do we know whom to trust? How much risk should we take, and how far should we rely on our intuition?

To help answer some of these questions, we are delighted to welcome Sir Andrew Likierman to present and discuss the findings of his current research into managerial judgement.

An article by Sir Andrew that was published in the January/February 2020 edition of the Harvard Business Review has formed the basis for publications on independent judgment for the Chartered Governance Institute and the Financial Reporting Council.

Earlier this year, Sir Andrew published Judgement At Work: Making Better Choices which outlines a six-part framework for developing and boosting sound judgement.

Sir Andrew Likierman is a former Dean of London Business School where he currently is Professor of Management Practice.

As an executive, he has run a textile plant in Germany, started his own bookselling business, worked in the UK Cabinet Office as a member of the Central Policy Review Staff (the "Think Tank"), and been Head of the UK Government Finance Service and Finance Director of H M Treasury.

As a non-executive, Sir Andrew has been Chairman of the UK National Audit Office, of the market research firm MORI and the Economist Bookshop Group. He has been the Senior Independent National Director of Times Newspaper Holdings Ltd and held a number of other non-executive director positions.

He has been a member of many official inquiries, including the "Cadbury Committee" on corporate governance and has advised several House of Commons Select Committees on public spending.
