Key takeaways — Decisive
- ✓ Palawakin ang iyong mga alternatibong opsyon: kung may desisyon kang 'oo' o 'hindi', maaaring may nakaligtaan kang ibang posibilidad.
- ✓ Gamitin ang teknik na Pre-mortem (analisis bago ang pagkabigo): isipin na nabigo ang proyekto sa loob ng isang taon, at tukuyin ang mga posibleng sanhi — makatutulong ito upang matuklasan ang mga nakatagong panganib.
- ✓ Magkaroon ng distansya mula sa mga emosyon sa maikling panahon gamit ang panuntunan na '10-10-10': Ano ang magiging pakiramdam mo tungkol sa desisyon sa loob ng 10 minuto, 10 buwan, at 10 taon?
Key takeaways — Think Again
- ✓ Isabuhay ang Scientist Mindset sa pamamagitan ng pagtrato sa iyong mga estratehiya bilang mga hypothesis na kailangang patunayan at subukan laban sa bagong datos at feedback mula sa merkado.
- ✓ Paunlarin ang Kumpiyansang Pagpapakumbaba, na kinikilala ang limitasyon ng iyong kaalaman upang manatiling bukas sa mas magagandang ideya at mas tumpak na stratehikong pananaw mula sa iyong koponan.
- ✓ Magpatibay ng isang Kultura ng Rethinking sa loob ng iyong team sa pamamagitan ng gantimpalaan ang 'kagitingan na magkamali' at hikayatin ang regular na pagtatanong sa mga nakagawian ng organisasyon.
