With generative AI, social media noise, and rising levels of disinformation, the ability to reason clearly and think critically has never been more essential. Andrea Lechler, Philosopher, Oxford University, will take you through essential reasoning and logic frameworks that underpin sound decision-making in finance.

Critical thinking isn’t just academic it’s a career advantage. From evaluating investment opportunities and assessing risk to presenting recommendations to stakeholders, your ability to analyse information objectively, identify problems early, and make reasoned judgments directly impacts your credibility and success.

To help you strengthen these skills and apply them effectively in your role, this session will cover:

• How to distinguish deductive, inductive and practical reasoning
• When to use which type of reasoning
• How the premises of a line of argument can support its conclusion 

By mastering these skills, you’ll gain the edge to excel in today’s competitive financial markets and accelerate your career progression.

Who should attend?
This session is designed for mid to senior-level investment professionals who are responsible for evaluating complex opportunities, presenting recommendations to stakeholders, and making high-stakes decisions. It’s also ideal for those preparing to step into leadership roles and looking to strengthen their reasoning and judgment to gain a competitive edge in today’s fast-changing markets.
