#6: The Failure-Proofing Technique

Here's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Guide, which describes the Failure-Proofing technique: - To prevent failure in implementing decisions, or in managing projects or processes, imagine that it completely failed. Then, brainstorm all plausible reasons for failure, and generate solutions to these potential problems. Integrate these solutions into your project or process. - To maximize project or process success, envision that it succeeded spectacularly. Brainstorm likely reasons for such success, and generate strategies that would lead to such success. Integrate these strategies into your project or process.
