pathways to opportunities are the foundation of innovation
All-in strategies needlessly close doors creating unmanaged risk and stifling future opportunities for innovation and optimization
If you can make a decision today that allows you defer strategic decisions, you can realize important benefits. These can include:
Improved accuracy: Deferring decision making allows you to gather more information and consider a wider range of options, which can help you to make more informed and accurate decisions.
Increased confidence: Taking the time to carefully consider your options can increase your confidence in the decision you ultimately make.
Reduced stress: Rushing into decisions can increase stress and lead to regrets or second-guessing later on. Deferring decision making can help to reduce this stress by allowing you to approach the decision-making process more deliberately and thoughtfully.
Increased creativity: Deferring decisions can also allow for more creative thinking, as it gives you the opportunity to explore a range of options and consider different perspectives.
Better outcomes: Ultimately, deferring decision making can lead to better outcomes, as it allows you to make more considered and well-informed choices.
