Are you making decisions based on the wrong assumptions?

• How often does your organisation go around in circles debating the same issues without really making any progress?

• Is your long-term strategy actually a short-term sticking plaster to get you to the next budget cycle?

• Are complex problems being treated as if they are merely complicated – with a single ‘correct’ and agreed answer’?

• Are you confident that you have an actionable plan to tackle the biggest challenges facing your organisation?

The curse of assumptions is demonstrated very clearly when it comes to decision making. When we allow decisions to be influenced by assumptions and bias we risk causing frustration and confusion. And we almost certainly fail to achieve our objectives.

Decision making starts with asking the right questions and all too often we tackle the biggest problems with the wrong questions.

Problem-Hunting starts with identifying the right questions to answer.
