What is the structure of the workshop?

The workshop Guiding Choice-Making consists of one half-day session, which is divided into four parts:

  • 1. Exploring the theme

    In this first part of the workshop, we will work with the question: what does it mean to choose? Although we make choices all day long, we rarely reflect on the processes behind them. This is exactly what we will do here: what is making choices, really? To explore this question fully, we will:

    • look at the topic from multiple disciplines,
    • draw on different theories as part of our exploration,
    • use the participants’ own experiences.
  • 2. Translating to practice

    After discussing the theory, different perspectives, and experiences around decision-making, this second part of the workshop introduces an evidence-based model that helps us translate these insights into practice.

  • 3. Q&A round

    Using the model we discussed, we will ask each other questions about our own situations, experiences, and choices. This helps you practise working with the model while also evaluating whether - and how - it works for you in practice.

If you attended the workshop as a UU or UMC employee, you can schedule a free professional consultation afterwards. During this consultation, you will receive feedback on how you applied the model you learned, or on other challenges you may face in supporting decision-making.

If you are not a UU or UMC employee but would like to continue working with the material after the workshop, we can explore which tailored option would add the most value—for example an advisory project, a professional one-to-one consultation, or an in-company version of the workshop.
