The Fog of War: Decision-making under pressure and ambiguity

Colonel Stokes is a senior British Army officer with the Ministry of Defence. He commanded a highly involved mechanised infantry company (120+ men) in Iraq during 2008 and was central to the preparation of the Army for operations in Afghanistan. His experience of the "the fog of war" and the challenge of making critical decisions at high speed in rapidly changing and ambiguous environments promises to make for a fascinating talk with many lessons for future business leaders. Colonel Stokes's talk will be followed by Q&A and drinks.
