Vincent Barabba: The Misleading Mind

Fifty years at the heart of decision-making in government and commerce (including General Motors, Xerox, and an unprecedented two terms as head of the Census Bureau) taught Capitola resident Vince Barabba to think differently. Abandoning the idea that we first analyze the data to make a right decision and then execute it, he shows instead how constructive inquiry can generate knowledge that can be woven into a meaningful decision fabric for today’s decisions. His new book, The Decision Loom, tells the story of how he learned those lessons and provides a workable sketch to help design your own decision loom – one that can be adapted to the specific needs of both large and small enterprises in the public and private sectors. For anyone concerned about how we may find a new mindset to address the problems that face our world at every turn, The Decision Loom offers tangible hope and practical wisdom.
