The player identifies six options for action, one can be do nothing, rolls the dice and acts on the out come. The complete opposite of scientific fact based decision making that managers claim to use. Or is it?
The dice man has only six options including do nothing. But how many options do managers typically identify? Two ,three, four? In my experience the options get very quickly down...

null Probably the best….
Once upon a time management was about managing budgets and people
plus possibly but not necessarily buildings and equipment. Information
management would be missed off many people’s lists. But now Big
Data is the big thing. It’s advocates are evangelical in their
enthusiasm for the benefits of bid data, not only does it tell us what
we have done in forensic detail but if used...

A week before her first A level, arrangements for sitting the exam
were changed by the school. Just a minor change. The start time was
moved forward half an hour along side a reminder that all candidates
must be seated 15 minutes before the exam was due to start. Late
comers would not be allowed in. During the course of the next few days
the start time was changed back, moved forward...

management team about the boss’s failure to stick to his guns when
mangers express doubts about a...

To the manager who says I don’t need to explain my decisions . I say you do.
When things don’t work out, targets are missed and decisions are questioned the manager needs to respond. Simply saying it’s my job to make the decisions and I take full responsibility is not enough. Managers need to communicate their thinking not just their decisions. The team is more likely to accept the need...

The relationship between meetings and effective management is unproven. So why are organisations so wedded to them and why despite our lack of enthusiasm do we continue to view them as necessary? It’s all about status. Who chairs, who attends, who speaks and who records is all about status. Why else would a manager ask who else is attending before deciding whether to commit if this wasn’t...
