Dear community members,

This past week we hosted Prof. Simon Munzert for the Hertie School for a session on building a global career in public policy.

Simon Munzert is Professor of Data Science and Public Policy at the Hertie School and part of the Hertie School Data Science Lab. His research interests include opinion formation in the digital age, public opinion, and the use of online data in social research. The Hertie School is a private university based in Berlin, Germany, accredited by the state and the German Science Council. It prepares exceptional students for leadership positions in government, business and civil society.

They offer the following courses -

1. Master of Public Policy

2. Master of International Affairs

3. Master of Data Science for Public Policy

💌 What is the IKEA Effect? - The combined might of IKEA effect, implicit egotism and “Not Invented Here” syndrome makes effective decision making tricky. Does that mean we ignore our convictions because they might be biased?

💌 Early career setbacks and failing forward - Instead of running after a handful number of hyper-successful entrepreneurs, they should keep an eye on founders they thought of investing in but didn’t. The VC world is small. One can quickly get a list of companies that have been rejected by their peers. This consolidated list can be a useful guide for future investments.

💌 Bubbles of Competence - Bertrand Russel famously said that the cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt. I feel such pronouncements can be thoroughly confusing at work. It incorrectly assumes that people are born stupid or smart.
