Principle
Challenge Assumptions
Identify, surface and question the assumptions a decision rests on.
Assumptions should be identified, made visible and challenged.
Good decisions emerge when organizations are willing to question their own understanding.
Assumptions may be:
- Technical
- Organizational
- Business-related
- Regulatory
- Cultural
The more significant the decision, the more important it becomes to understand the assumptions that support it.
