Here is an abundance of practical suggestions to help you make much smarter decisions

This is a revised and expanded sequel to an anthologyof HBR articles about making smart decisions that was published in 2013.  Disruption by emerging technologies in the 13 years since then has generated issues, questions, problems, and possibilities that require innovative thinking.

In this volume, the 14 articles provide it. More specifically, their authors explain HOW TO

o Tackle your toughest decisions
o Avoid the major traps in decision making
o Stop overthinking (“paralysis bybanyalysis”) and start trusting your gut
o Being deceived by the so-called “value of experience”
o Understand what makes strategic decisions different
o Overcome the high, hidden cost of inconsistent decision making
o Understand (and appreciate) the value of human decision-making in the Age of AI

o Keep in mind that data is only one factor, not definitive evidence to support a decision
o Make better decisions with less data
o Ensure that clear decision roles enhance organizational performance
o Seek new ideas from a wider, more diverse range of sources
o Use a framework of five questions to help your team make better decisions
o Formulate and implement strategies to move from inertia to action and desirable results
o Avoid letting old habits and assumptions undermine organizational creativity

Which of these cutting-edge HBR articles offer the information you need to accelerate your personal growth and professional development?

Years ago in Future Shock (1970), Alvin Toffler made this prediction: “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of having a workers who can “learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

What have you done to develop the “fluency” to which Toffler refers?

If you were to purchase reprints of the 14 articles, the total cost would be about $165.00. Amazon sells a paperbound edition of HBR’s 10 Must Reads: Decision Making (Updated and Expanded) for only $26.94. That’s not a bargain; that’s a steal.
