This fact is fundamental to organizations whose leaders must often make crucial decisions: to do this they need the best available insights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eJudgment Calls\u003c\/i\u003e, authors Tom Davenport and Brook Manville share twelve stories of organizations that have successfully tapped their data assets, diverse perspectives, and deep knowledge to build an organizational decision-making capability--a competence they say can make the difference between success and failure. This book introduces a model that taps the collective judgment of an organization so that the right decisions are made, and the entire organization profits. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough the stories in \u003ci\u003eJudgment Calls\u003c\/i\u003e, the authors--both of them seasoned management thinkers and advisers--make the case for the wisdom of organizations and suggest ways to use it to best advantage. Each chapter tells a unique story of one dilemma and its ultimate resolution, bringing into high relief one key to the power of collective judgment. Individually, these stories inspire and instruct; together, they form a model for building an organizational capacity for broadly based, knowledge-intensive decision making. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou've read \u003ci\u003eThe Wisdom of Crowds\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCompeting on Analytics\u003c\/i\u003e.
