What will this book do for you?
Ever been stuck trying to decide what to do? The recruitment guy rang out of the blue to tell you about an amazing job with 20% more salary and a shorter commute and probably more prospects. Only trouble is you love your current job. You need to change your car; but which one? There's only so much money in the marketing budget, so where do you spend it? And – sigh – the nice guy you met on the art course and have been dating ever since. He asked you to get married! But are you ready?
Decisions. We all know what they are. This way or that way. That jumper or the other one. That route or this route. But do we know how to make them? And how to make the best one. Maybe you will be surprised …
Here's the structure of Make Better Decisions More Often
The majority of the sections will start with the big idea (e.g., gathering robust data) and then explain how to address that challenge in more detail. There will then be a mini case study: those with the same challenges you have, that we all have; this gives us a chance to see how they implement the concepts in a practical way. We'll also make sure your toughest questions are answered before a final summary. Everything in this book is tried and tested: it is both pragmatic and practical. We encourage you to start using the ideas immediately as that's the way this digital version was designed.
