Recommendation

Making decisions is never easy, particularly amid today’s virtually limitless options. In this easy-to-use, decision-making guidebook, the Boston Consulting Group’s Simon Mueller and Julia Dhar offer a dozen effective mental tactics and cognition tools that respected thinkers and planners apply to making decisions. Their pragmatic, interesting manual is a fun read and surprisingly useful.

Take-Aways

  • One: Use “mental models” to make smart decisions in an increasingly complex world that is drowning in data.
  • Two: Frame the problem before you try to solve it.
  • Three: Embrace varied viewpoints and independent thinking.

    Helpful, would be great to have links to some same mental model techniques for reference - such as, structure scoring, critical path, decision-tree..
