Uncertainty and Decision-Making under Fire

March 23, 2026 · 07:00 - 9:00 EST / 14:00 - 16:00 CET / 15:00 - 17:00 EET · Virtual

A fast, defensible way to decide with incomplete information, very little time, and high stakes.


Founders don’t get the luxury of perfect information—especially in health and life sciences, where timelines are long, buyers are conservative, and capital doesn’t tolerate drift.

This 2‑hour intensive gives you a repeatable framework for making tough calls quickly without hand‑waving: what to do next, what to stop doing, what to test, and what you’re willing to bet on.

You’ll learn CLEAR/IT™—a simple, high‑leverage method to turn uncertainty into momentum: clarify what must be true, pressure-test assumptions, run the right experiments, and commit to actions you can defend to your team, partners, and investors.

Putting an end to “Analysis Paralysis”

This isn’t decision theory. It’s decision practice, built on the framework we’ve used to inform strategic decisions for international PPPs, cluster planning, and multi-year programs in the midst of radical global change.

Real Scenarios

Applied framework thinking to scenarios entrepreneurs are currently facing across the US and Europe.

Structured

A guided, structured way to pressure-test your thinking and present it to stakeholders in high-risk environments.

Reusable

The framework and methodology can be plugged into your research tools once you have learned how to guide the human thinking.

How the course works

2-hour live virtual intensive, ideal for founders, CEOs, commercial leads, product leaders, and operators making high stakes calls with limited time and limited support.

It’s not the risk that matters. It’s the way it’s presented and managed—and the thinking behind that—that keeps leaders in their seats and companies moving forward in less than friendly environments.


FAQs

  • Entrepreneurs and operators (mostly health and life sciences) who are making high-stakes decisions under uncertainty—especially across Europe and the US.

  • No. The framework and principles taught are completely market-agnostic. In fact, the framework has been used for decision-making by clusters, universities, and PPPs; it’s a pressure-tested way of moving forward with decisions when our current landscape seems to be changing so rapidly.

    The examples will be highly relevant to transatlantic commercialization, but the framework applies to any high-uncertainty decision.

  • No, but you can bring one real decision you’re facing to start applying the coursework to it.

  • Both, but we move through the theory portion quickly and get down to how this works. Like everything we do, it’s an intense working session. It takes two hours to do, head’s down.

  • Of course. We’ll work through anonymized real-world scenarios where incentives, timing, and risk collide—and there are no clear answers.

  • Two hours live (virtually).

  • It’s $149 ( €126). We offer group discounts for 3 or more (email through the contact form or to Elizabeth directly). We also offer discount codes to our partners for their companies. You can always email us to check if your trade agency, cluster, science park, or university have partnered for a code.

  • No, this course is relevant to anyone in innovation. Those looking an international innovation will find it especially relevant given all the turmoil in certain factors within internationalization, but it’s as applicable to Americans as it is Finns.
