In today's complex and fast-moving world, what we need even more than foresight or hindsight is insight.
As Steve Lohr says:
"Listening to the data is important… but so is experience ... and intuition. After all, what is insight or intuition at its best but large amounts of data of all kinds filtered through a human brain rather than a math model?"
Insighting is simply the capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of someone or something, an art and a craft that we love pursuing. So please call Les Winton or Mandelbrot Quixote on 0414 504 832.
Insightful Research
“There are three kinds of men. The ones that learn by reading; the few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.”
[Will Rogers]
“Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.”
[Albert Szent-Gyorgyi]
“The way to do research is to attack the facts at the point of greatest astonishment.”
[Celia Green]
Evocative Evaluation
“One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.”
[Milton Friedman]
“Continuous improvement requires systematic and unfiltered evaluation.”
[Author unknown]
“True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.”
[Winston Churchill]
Amazing Insights
“A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience.”
[Oliver Wendell Holmes]
“Listening to the data is important… but so is experience and intuition. After all, what is insight or intuition at its best but large amounts of data of all kinds filtered through a human brain rather than a math model?”
