What distinguishes a person who makes smart, confident data-driven decisions?
It is not exceptional analytic skills or rare
expertise. Instead, successful leaders balance data, experience, and intuition. They quickly sort through information, apply judgment, and are fierce interrogators who cultivate sharp insights. They apply first-order principles to understand what the decision really is, why it must be taken, by when, and to what end. In short, they make intelligent decisions with incomplete information.
In Decisions Over Decimals: Striking the Balance between Intuition and Information, the authors-three seasoned executives and renowned educators-deliver a pragmatic blueprint to frame issues and navigate to data-informed answers. They marry original and insightful research with frontline experience to put forward a set of techniques called Quantitative Intuition (QI)™. The authors demonstrate how to bridge two skills-interrogation and intuition—or in plain English
"context" and "surprise" to find answers without retreating into the comfort of more data.
Ql is the product of years of discovery about making effective and efficient decisions. This book dives into this proven method to reimagine finding answers with the best available data while not wading aimlessly in a sea of information.
