Decision Strategies Consultant Publishes Executive’s Guide to Managing Risk and Making Better Decisions
Houston, TX – Patrick Leach, Senior Consultant at Decision Strategies, announced today that his book, "Why Can't You Just Give Me the Number? - An executive's guide to using probabilistic thinking to manage risk and to make better decisions” has just been published.Because executives have to make decisions in the face of uncertainty all the time, there are always multiple possible outcomes, each with its own probability of occurrence. The executive who has both good business skills and a solid understanding of these probabilities will have a clear competitive advantage over one who has only the business skills.
"Decision-making 101 for executives - a solid overview of the key decision analysis concepts sprinkled with pearls of wisdom and wry humor. Mr. Leach's comfort and command of the material is evident. What could be intimidating concepts to communicate are presented clearly and illustratively. Today's executive requires an understanding and conversational command of the language of risk, uncertainty and decision-making. Mr. Leach's handbook is an excellent and efficient introduction to these 'must know' constructs," says Dr. Robert Ameo, Director – Business Development, Medical Devices & Diagnostics Group, Johnson & Johnson
Pat Leach’s book is available and can be ordered through outlets such as Amazon.com and BN.com or directly from the publisher, Probabilistic Publishing (www.decisions-books.com).
