During his three-year tenure, England averaged 7 wins in every 10 completed matches, better than they have performed before or since. Making Decisions reveals Smith’s unique approach to finding success in a fast-changing and increasingly data-reliant world. The best decisions, Smith argues, rely on a combination of differing kinds of intelligence: from algorithms to intuition. This is a truth that the most successful people know: data cannot account for everything, it must be harnessed with human insight. Whatever the power of data, humans aren’t finished yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSharing for the first time the tools he introduced as England selector, Smith’s book captures the immediacy of life at the sharp end, while also exploring frameworks from the top levels of sports, business and the arts. Decision-making is revealed as a creative enterprise, not a reductive system. Making Decisions offers an invaluable guide for those who want a better framework for developing, explaining and implementing new ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56221804298613,"sku":"9780008530181","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780008530181_6d8c3ac5-a2a8-47f7-808e-d673f548b8c4.jpg?v=1785658783"},{"product_id":"9781837831388","title":"Good Eggs","description":"So many great ideas and a lot of brilliant egg 'accessorising'.
