React, Respond, Anticipate -- Laurent suggests how to watch out for those bad decisions I mentioned yesterday, which can only really be identified in retrospect...
"How do we act on problems early, before they become crises ? A nifty phrase I've heard recently is 'weak signals'. Devote some attention to spotting weak signals and amplifying them."
On the other hand, maybe during the decision process there's a weak signal to be detected...
"A good way to spot weak signals is to embed your objectives in a system of values. Then weak signals will manifest as feelings that something is slightly, vaguely wrong."
