Speaker's Profile:
Professor Anil Gaba
|
International man of mystery, Anil Gaba, was born in India and received his PhD in Decision Sciences from Duke University in the USA. He then spent many years as a professor for INSEAD in France, before moving to the school's Asia Campus in Singapore, where he is currently the ORPAR Chaired Professor of Risk Management and holds the post of Dean of Faculty for the entire institution.
As Dean of Faculty, Anil has developed the unique skill of disappearing. This extraordinary facility enables him to carry on his research into decision analysis, Bayesian statistics, tournaments and contests, and risk management - trying to reconcile behavioral and rational theories - largely under cover of darkness. During daylight hours, he also finds time to direct INSEAD's Centre for Decision Making and Risk Analysis, besides managing faculty and research at the institution.
As well as performing research and genie-like disappearing acts, Anil teaches several courses at INSEAD. He has won the school's award for best MBA teacher eight times. His articles have appeared in the popular press as well as in academic journals, and he is a regular consultant and speaker for multinational companies, especially in the financial services sector. He is also a member of the Strategic Advisory Board for the Royal Bank of Scotland Business School.

A Must Have for Professionals, Businessman and investors !
Uneasy with how chance determines a huge part of our lives, we try to control what cannot be controlled and predict what cannot be predicted.
It's a self-delusion that can have serious consequences for our personal finances, careers, happiness, and health. Dance with Chance explains how we all fall foul of this "Illusion of Control". Fortunately, when we understand how luck operates, we can lessen its ill effects. Minor lifestyle adjustments can have huge positive results. From simple investment strategies to warning against health screenings, the authors offer the revolutionary advice needed to make luck work for you.
You'll find out why millions of deaths are caused each year by medical negligence and why a billionaire is no happier than an Eskimo. You'll discover why no one predicted the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression and what makes a sports star. Witty, inventive, and informed by the latest findings in psychology and statistics, Dance with Chance is an essential guide to navigating the uncertain world in which we live.

'"This is a brilliant compendium of the main errors we make in misidentifying the role of chance in many relevant personal and professional fields.
