Who for?

The programme is designed for busy executives, focused but with time for networking and relationship-building over the two days, in a good hotel and beautiful city venues, such as Cambridge, UK. As such, it could be taken as a highly productive off-site experience away for team members, likely in the below roles. A basic grounding in 'high school' mathematics would be useful. A degree in other scientific or numerate subjects, including MBAs, is great, but also not a prerequisite. The course has been tested!

Decision-makers generally | Corporate directors and officers | CxOs | Chiefs of Staff | VPs | General Managers | Government officials | Public sector agency leaders | Technology leaders | Investors | Senior Strategists in-house | Strategic Compliance Officers | Management accountants | Senior risk managers | Private individuals making decisions.

About the course leader Dr J Hayward

Dr Hayward has a Ph.D., M.Math and MBA from Cambridge University. The Ph.D was in applied mathematics and included studies of coherence in quantum gravity. He worked as a quant in research at a top tier investment house in London, looking at implied probability distributions and optimal strategies for trading securities such as foreign exchange currency pairs, and on portfolio optimisation in the bond markets. He took an MBA at the Cambridge Judge Business School which had modules in statistics, but which focused on frequentist methods only. As a contractor for the past 20 years, he has helped a range of businesses with option prioritisation in strategic decisions, including for example with the chip design leader, Arm. He has had a passion for and belief in Bayesian methods for a number of years and has created a course to offer this excellent decision making process and method to leaders who are not mathematicians in a concise and accessible form.
