Setting Context To Maximize Learning
- Repeatedly remind your team that they’re part of a learning organization to make them focus on learning.
- Remind your people that you are all operating within complex systems, thus failures can be unpredictable.
- Failure is a normal part of the functioning of complex systems.
- Seek to understand what goes wrong and what goes right, to make more resilient systems.
- Look for the conditions that allowed a particular situation to manifest, and accept that not all of them are knowable or fixable.
- Human errors are a symptom of trouble within the system, not the cause.
- Educate everyone on cognitive biases and keep an eye out for them.

Instead of making decisions based on facts and data, you ...
Biases = shortcuts for processing information
The brain creates shortcuts in order to make fast decisions when it hits information or inspiration overload.
These shortcuts form unconscious biases so it’s easier for your brain to categorize information and make quick judgments over and over again.
Self-serving Bias
This means that when something good happens, you take the credit, but when something bad happens, you blame it on external factors.
Self-serving bias may manifest at work when you receive critical feedback. Instead of keeping an open mind, you may put up a defense when your manager or team member is sharing feedback or constructive criticism.

Untangling your organization's decision making
The ABCDs of categorizing decisions
- Big-bet decisions: infrequent and high-risk - from major acquisitions to game-changing capital investments;
- Cross-cutting decisions: frequent and high-risk - think pricin...
Approaching big bet decisions
- Appoint an executive sponsor to work with a project lead to frame important decisions for senior leaders to weigh in on;
- Break things down (with decision meetings at each stage), and connect them up.
- Focuses on debating the solution (instead of endlessly elaborating the problem) and gather the right people.
- Move faster without losing commitment: get comfortable living with imperfect data and being clear about what “good enough” looks like.
Approaching cross-cutting decisions
- Identify decisions that involve a cross-cutting group of leaders, and work with the stakeholders of each to agree on what the main steps in the process entail.
- Work through a set of real-life scenarios to pressure-test the system in collaboration with the people who will be running the process.
- Limit the number of decision-making bodies, and clarify for each its mandate, standing membership, roles etc.
- Create shared objectives, metrics, and collaboration targets.
