Every day, leaders, engineers, entrepreneurs, and innovators face a common challenge: making important decisions without having all the information they'd like.

How do you move forward with confidence when the clock is ticking, priorities are competing, and uncertainty is unavoidable?
Join us for the next session of the Hang Loose with Hart: SURF Summer Seminar Series featuring Gerard Ibarra, PhD—SMU Lyle alumnus, entrepreneur, and author of Good Decisions, Better Outcome—for an interactive conversation on one of the most valuable skills in today's professional world:

🎯 Making Good Decisions with Limited Information and Time

Whether you're a student preparing for your first leadership role, an engineer navigating complex challenges, or an industry professional responsible for high-stakes decisions, this session will provide practical tools you can apply immediately.
Together, we'll explore:

✅ How to make better decisions when information is incomplete
✅ Balancing speed, risk, accuracy, and confidence under pressure
✅ Recognizing and avoiding common decision-making traps and biases
✅ Frameworks used by successful leaders, engineers, and entrepreneurs
✅ Strategies for navigating uncertainty with greater clarity and confidence

Dr. Ibarra will share real-world insights and lessons learned from his career as an entrepreneur and business leader, offering perspectives that are relevant across industries and career stages.

🍽️ Lunch will be provided, creating a relaxed environment for learning, networking, and meaningful conversation with fellow students, faculty, and industry professionals.

The Hang Loose with Hart: SURF Summer Seminar Series welcomes students and professionals interested in technology, consulting, engineering, innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
