Replying to @theGRDC
@theGRDC RiskWise initative has pulled together a great line up of speakers for this online Grains Research Update - Thursday 4 July at 10 am AEST. What RiskWi$e is focused on: 1. Examining decision-making processes to reduce error rates and improve the probability of a more favourable outcome 2. Informing uncertainty and risk to improved the quality of knowledge integration into the decision-making process 3. Maximising impact through a participatory grass roots approach with Grower Groups in @GRDCWest , @GRDCSouth and @GRDCNorth regions. How life turns out is determined by luck and the quality of our decisions (Annie Duke). One and two above are focused on improving the quality of our decisions and three is about using a peer to peer network to maximise industry benefit and ensure we untilise locally relivant experitse. I encourage you to get involved via your local Grower Group/Farming Systems Group. #RiskWise
