The Unfaithful Friend You go out with your spouse for dinner at a new restaurant you have not frequented before. It is in a part of town you rarely visit.

MORAL DILEMMAS: INTERTWINED BEHAVIOURS & WAYS TO NAVIGATE CHAPTER - 01

  Morality is defined as the principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behaviour (Oxford Dictionary). Effective ethics instruction is about more than distributing a list of moral guidelines; it requires educating learners on how to navigate their own moral decision-making.

In business, OODA loops typically examine what is happening externally and how results are performing to become more

DECISION INTELLIGENCE FRAMEWORKS: THE OODA LOOP & SEAL – CHAPTER 01

  All of us, without exception, would love to tame the future and tilt odds in our favor all the time. This lofty aspiration and our incessant effort toward making right choices is what sets us apart from animal species. Decision making is a basic cognitive process of human behavior. Far from perfect, our prowess for decision making stands exposed more than ever in the hyper connected and rapidly changing world we live in. Decision Intelligence: How can it help? There is hardly any organization today that does not aspire to power their decisions and actions with intelligence. Enough evidence exists that those who can harness their organizational intelligence and align it to desired outcomes accrue a substantial advantage.  Over the decades of automation, significant strides have been made in codifying human experiential knowledge as well as extracting hidden knowledge from transactional data footprints. The purview of decision intelligence is to explore outcome-focused and human-in-t
