We make decisions on opinions

By

Opinions win when evidence is slow or hard to get. Make the relevant numbers easy to find, agree which decisions need evidence, and use quick tests to settle disagreements instead of debate.

We make decisions on opinions

We make decisions on opinions

Problem

The most senior person in the room usually decides.

Data exists, but getting it takes days, so decisions are made on experience and instinct. When opinions clash, the debate goes on until someone with authority ends it.

Good ideas from junior people rarely survive.

Insight

People fall back on opinions when evidence is too slow.

If the relevant numbers are easy to see and a quick test can settle a question in a week, most debates resolve themselves. Opinion still matters for direction, but evidence decides the details.

The goal is to make evidence faster than argument.

How we approach it

We make evidence quicker than debate.

  1. We give teams easy access to the numbers behind their usual decisions.
  2. We agree which kinds of decisions need data or a test before they are made.
  3. We set up a fast way to test disputed ideas instead of arguing about them.

Decisions get better, and good ideas win regardless of who had them.
