Smart Choices
A Practical Guide to Making Better Decisions
by John S. Hammond
Who This Book Is For
Ideal readers of Smart Choices are practical thinkers who want to improve how they decide in real life, not just in theory. They are professionals—executives, managers, analysts, and project leads—who face ambiguous problems, competing objectives, and imperfect information, and who crave a clear, repeatable method to structure their choices. They may be students or early-career professionals building decision-making habits, or seasoned executives seeking a defensible framework to justify tradeoffs to stakeholders. They value clarity over bravado and appreciate tools that translate messy situations into concrete criteria, alternatives, and consequences. They are comfortable with probabilistic thinking and risk, yet recognize their own biases and the limits of prediction. They want to master PrOACT and its helpers—uncertainty, risk tolerance, and connected decisions—and to turn insights into actionable plans, with better alignment to personal and organizational goals and a robust approach to implementation and learning. They value practical results you can trust.
