In all problem-solving, there is always some probability of ‘being wrong’.
This risk increases dramatically when undertaking something ‘new’ or ‘different,’ which can be costly—potentially deadly—when it involves critical issues like growth, profit, innovation, and talent.
The traditional ‘solve’ for this challenge has been to seek outside-in perspectives—expert opinions to pressure-test ideas and broaden thinking.
However, many organizations lack the time, resources, or network to do this effectively. Additionally, the experts consulted may not have the requisite believability for the specific case at hand.
