Judgement day...

It's been a healthy last couple of weeks.I attended a "Patient Harm Conference" last week (provocative title, eh?) - organised by Tricordant, for the NHS and a number of health-related organisations all focused on improving patient safety. I had the privilege of hearing leadership speaker Alistair Mant discuss complex systems (using frogs and bicycles) the subject of Judgement (not in the biblical sense - that's another story!)

Alistair came out with a couple of quotes which made me think:

Judgement is what you do when you don't know (and can't know) what to do - and you know you need to do something fast!

Good judgement is based on experience; experience is based on bad judgement...

I guess I'd better be the judge of that!
