Daniel Kahneman: The Thought Leader interview

Apr 2, 2024 | strategy-business.com | Michael Schrage

The Nobel Prize–winning economist parses the roles of emotion, cognition, and perception in the understanding of business risk. (originally published by Booz & Company) A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? Almost everyone feels the temptation to answer “10 cents” because the sum $1.10 so neatly separates into $1 and 10 cents, and 10 cents seems the right price for a ball (small and light) relative to a bat (big and heavy).

Photograph by lzf When Greg Van Kirk, a banker by training, was finishing up his two-year Peace Corps stint in the small town of Nebaj, Guatemala, he had a simple idea that would have a major impact.

Aug 9, 2023 | strategy-business.com | David Lancefield

Photograph by Kelvin Murray When you think of the word intrapreneurship, what comes to mind? Perhaps it’s staging a hackathon, a rapid and bounded way to crowdsource new ideas. Or it could be the 15 to 20% of time allocated in the strategic plan for individuals to spend on personal innovation projects, a concept that was first introduced by 3M in 1948 (and that led to the development of the iconic Post-it note). Both approaches can certainly inspire people to up their game.

Off the clock: How our perception of time can affect productivity

Jul 17, 2023 | strategy-business.com | Linda Rodriguez McRobbie

Photograph by AleksandarGeorgiev I am a Beaver leader, as in the Scouts. Every Monday evening, I lead 14 boisterous 6- to 8-year-olds in various character-building activities: trying to cook pancakes over tea candles or making baking soda and vinegar explosions. We frequently totter on that thinnest of lines that separates order and chaos; that’s why one of my favorite activities is playing “How long is a minute?” The kids sit (quietly) and then, when they think a minute is up, stand up (quietly).
