Reviews
'This book presents a step change in the art and science of solving complex business challenges, however the implications of George's work on corporate strategy and decision making are nothing short of transformational. Everyone shaping a company should have these tools.' Wayne Wisniewski, President and COO, Eagle Hydrocarbons
"George Danner's book goes to the heart of better decision making and shows us how to achieve it. Borrow the best from scientific processes- develop hypotheses, analyse data, use best modelling techniques, test the evidence under various scenarios, be objective and transparent , be prepared to experiment and problem solving improves. It sounds simple and yet so many businesses lack the internal processes and disciplines to achieve this. " Professor Vicky Pryce, Former Joint Head of the UK Government's Economic Service
