Breakthrough methods to solve for the unknown on the path to innovation, creativity, and business growth, while avoiding bureaucracy and stagnationWhat sits above any person, project, function, or strategy in your organization?
What impacts your company's performance for years and decades?
What shows up in nearly every interaction and decision in your organization?
Like it or not, there are systems at work in your organization that standardize how people think, collaborate, and make decisions.
These systems affect everything, yet they're rarely discussed, managed, or even thought about. In Decision Sprint, innovation and growth expert Atif Rafiq argues that while talent is critically important to any company's success, the systems through which collaboration and decision-making happen are what separate industry leaders from the rest-and that systems designed to embrace unknowns are quickest and most enduring way to foster growth, continuous innovation, and realization of strategy. This groundbreaking guide walks readers through the process of embracing unknowns from the start of a bright idea, strategic project, or new initiative through the steps of alignment and decision making with sponsors and executives.
