Breakthrough methods to solve for the unknown on the path to innovation, creativity, and business growth, while avoiding bureaucracy and stagnation.What sits above any person, project, function, or strategy in your organization? What impacts your company’s performance for years and decades? What shows up in nearly every interaction and decision in your organization? Like it or not, there are systems at work in your organization that standardize how people think, collaborate, and make decisions. These systems affect everything, yet they’re rarely discussed, managed, or even thought about.

Decision SprintI Fortune 500 and Silicon Valley trailblazer Atif Rafiq, demonstrates how teams start with upstream work to problem solve anything, and unlock downstream actions from alignment to decision making to execution.
Upstream work--the phase of a promising idea or initiative where the unknowns predominate―is a massive unstructured activity within companies of all kinds. Rafiq provides a system to embrace unknowns from the start of a bright idea, strategic problem or new initiative through the steps of alignment and decision making with sponsors and executives.
Rafiq argues that while talent is vital to any company’s success, collaboration and decision-making systems separate industry leaders from the rest―and that systems designed to embrace unknowns are the quickest, most enduring way to foster growth, continuous innovation and problem solving.
