Decisions Over Decimals

Striking the Balance between Intuition and Information

By: Christopher Frank, Paul Magnone, Oded Netzer

Narrated by: Graham Rowat

Agile decision making is imperative as you lead in a data-driven world. Amid streams of data and countless meetings, we make hasty decisions, slow decisions, and often no decisions. Uniquely bridging theory and practice, Decision over Decimals breaks this pattern by uniting data intelligence with human judgment to get to action—a sharp approach the authors refer to as Quantitative Intuition (QI). QI raises the power of thinking beyond big data without neglecting it and chasing the perfect decision while appreciating that such a thing can never really exist.

Successful decision-makers are fierce interrogators. They square critical thinking with open-mindedness by blending information, intuition, and experience. Balancing these elements is at the heart of Decisions Over Decimals.

This book is designed to be frequently referenced as you face innumerable decision moments. It is the hands-on manual for confident, accurate decision-making you've been looking for; the rare resource that provides a set of pragmatic leadership tools to accelerate:

- Effectively framing the problem for stakeholders

- Synthesizing intelligence from incomplete information

- Delivering decisions that stick

Great book!

Easy to read, listen, and follow. The authors greatly take the fear of statistics, math, and data mining’s out of decision making. Excellent book and now a class at CBS. A big round of applause.
