My talk from #ixd19 "Using randomness to break down biases" is now online. I talk about crazy eights, @OblStrats, @trytriggers, and product tarot readings. Part of #adversarial #prodmgmt. https://t.co/6433vanrp3

@AlexanderTw33ts Science fiction is reality, haha: https://t.co/0eMJOwo5Fl

@emollick Totally agree! There are some interesting directions to go with this to adapt to the rituals that people do together and invite the agents in.

@emollick Agents could trigger when we need to reconvene as a team to update our assumptions/plans (e.g. new competitive threat, customer behavior changes, user research disagrees). Not sure what to call it though...

@ttorres Was interested in checking it out but the article link goes to a 404!

@sjataylor And they probably have another values for the org which are slightly different. This can cause a lot of confusion.

[Chris Butler @chrizbot]

I'd argue we should generate leadership personas from more intimate meeting transcripts. It will get much closer to the real thing. This avoids blindspots and less ideal characteristics that are real. The leader could still offer commentary on why they are like that.

[Austin Rief ☕️ @austin_rief]

Every leader should create a "how to work with me" guide.

This one from Keith Yandell at DoorDash is great.

@kenneth0stanley It seems the evidence is against there being system 1/2 in human cognition which is interesting that we keep trying to apply this concept other areas.

I've been really interested in the emergence of reasoning through discourse from this book: https://t.co/76avpcSxYg

@ben_mathes At first I read it as "interfering" and I'd probably agree.

@ben_mathes Holidays? We get off holidays this year?!

@IAmClintMurphy I'm not sure most of these are decision making tools as much as they are heuristics and common biases...

Decision making can be simplified when we take a simple lens but then we can't understand the complicatedness or complexity that is more appropriate for other decisions.

@MelMitchell1 What notes did you pass under the door?

[Chris Butler @chrizbot]

I LOVED this book when I was a kid.

@PawelHuryn I think it is important to identify these as uncertainties that need to be worked with rather than risks that need to be mitigated. @vaughn_tan has a great piece about the differences between these two things: https://t.co/KZ6WjfCStG

@ben_mathes I wonder if live vs. dead player detection is something that these types of models would be good with... 🤔

@josh_alby @nurijanian @RichardRumelt Yes, absolutely. You can read the original canvas post with all of the background from Rumelt here: https://t.co/vA7n8lSrsl

@hnshah I've been thinking a lot about this while reading "The Problem with Change" and "The Friction Project" at the same time. Maybe the exceptional variation in our lives should be less and the ability to find meaning should be more?
