Why the best decisions need room
Until the benchmark stands.
By Katharina Beer, decision architect ·
The basic problemThe offer is on the table, and everyone says a decision must be made now.
The key statementA decision that will hold for years may nevertheless take time.
The decision may ripen until the benchmark is clarified and the decision foundation stands. Speed is good once the foundation is there. Before that, how the decision turns out is chance.
A foundation is well built when a person still stands behind it after a night, after a week and after a month. That is why every collaboration begins with a fit conversation and leaves time afterwards.
