Develop the skills of your team in predicting the future
It is a little known fact, but it turns out that most project failures could have been foreseen before they launched. The article ‘Using intuition to predict the future’ tells of a study of failed projects across a wide range of businesses.
The study was undertaken by a large consultancy firm. The interviewers asked those who had been involved a very insightful question. They asked whether, at the point of launch, people would have bet $500 of their own money on the project’s success. And overwhelmingly the answer was ‘no’.
It turns out that, after we have applied all of our logic in planning success, there is still an emotional component within us which has more to tell us. A subconscious sense which assesses things that are too complex and involved and uncertain for factual assessment. One that doesn’t return its answers in words and numbers. But in a sense of discomfort, or disquiet, that is highlighted when we are asked to ‘bet our own money’.
This week’s adventure is all about tapping into that intuition.
