There are 2 questions I frequently pose when making high stakes decisions.
- “What are the chances that additional information will actually change my decision?”
- “What would need to be true to make a different decision?” When faced with a decision, it’s easy to fall into the trap of endlessly gathering more data.
These 2 questions can:
- Saves time by avoiding unnecessary analysis
- Deliberately expose missing information that might have otherwise been dismissed
- Builds confidence in moving forward with the information you already have.
- Help you focus on what really matters in uncertain situations.
If the likelihood of new data influencing your decision is low, it’s time to act. We teach these concepts when working with high performing teams
