Decisions Over Decimals: Striking the Balance between Intuition and Information
Become a confident leader and use data, experience, and intuition to drive your decisions
Agile decision making is imperative as you lead in a data-driven world. Amid streams of data and countless meetings, we make hasty decisions, slow decisions, and often no decisions. Uniquely bridging theory and practice, Decisions Over Decimals breaks this pattern by uniting data intelligence with human judgment to get to action -- a sharp approach the authors refer to as Quantitative Intuition (QI). QI raises the power of thinking beyond big data without neglecting it and chasing the perfect decision while appreciating that such a thing can never really exist.
Successful decision-makers are fierce interrogators. They square critical thinking with open-mindedness by blending information, intuition, and experience. Balancing these elements is at the heart of Decisions Over Decimals.
This book is not only designed to be read - but frequently referenced - as you face innumerable decision moments. It is the hands-on manual for confident, accurate decision-making you've been looking for; the rare resource that provides a set of pragmatic leadership tools to
Effectively framing the problem for stakeholders Synthesizing intelligence from incomplete information Delivering decisions that stick
Strike the right balance between information and intuition and lead the smarter way with the real-world guidance found in Decisions Over Decimals.

Było tam kilka ciekawych rzeczy, które sobie wynotowałem. Temat też jest ciekawy i ważny, natomiast zmęczyła mnie bardzo ta książka.
Pomijam fakt, że autorzy piszą jakby wymyślili właśnie coś zupełnie nowego, a tego typu myślenie jest ważne "od zawsze".
Mino wszystko warto, np. dla 3 pytań, które warto zadać, żeby sprawdzić (i sprawdzać), czy zespół jest gotowy do zmiany i czy wszyscy tak samo widzą rezultat jaki chcemy osiągnąć tą zmianą.

Well written, a lot of concepts from other books that I'd seen but the authors had the right level of detail and narrative flow here.

It had good ideas. It just should've been about 1/3 the length.

Truly insightful and innovative approach ti decision making
The authors have developed an approach via QI. Their ability to walk the reader through their thought process and examples from every day and history provide a way to incorporate this in our decision making process.
