Description
Ed Smith's Making Decisions offers a unique approach to finding success in a fast-changing world. As chief selector for the England cricket team, Smith pioneered new methods for building successful teams and watched his decisions tested in real time on the pitch.
The book reveals Smith's approach to decision-making, which relies on a combination of differing kinds of intelligence: from algorithms to intuition. It explores frameworks from top levels of sports, business, and the arts, showing that data cannot account for everything, but must be harnessed with human insight.
Decision-making is revealed as a creative enterprise, not a reductive system. Making Decisions offers an invaluable guide for those who want a better framework for developing, explaining, and implementing new ideas.
