Jordan Stephens
Controller, Intel Corporation
This rising generation faces unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Perhaps that can be said of each successive generation, but I see in the lives of my own kids a rapidly changing flood of choices and information (which oddly seems to increase, not decrease, uncertainty). At the same time, over the last several decades there have been unprecedented advancements in our understanding of how to make better decisions–much of which is not as widely known and taught as it could be or should be. We have the great opportunity with better Decision Education to equip students today with thinking and tools necessary not just to overcome the challenges of our time but to make an even better future–for themselves, their families, businesses, and society.
