Summary:
"Conventional wisdom - and business school curricula - teaches us that making trade-offs is inevitable when it comes to hard
choices
. But sometimes, accepting the obvious trade-off just isn't good enough: the
choices
in front of us don't get us what we need. In those cases, rather than choosing the least worst option, we can use the models in front of us to create a new and better answer. This is
integrative
thinking
. First introduced by Roger Martin in The Opposable Mind,
integrative
thinking
is an approach to problem solving that uses opposing ideas as the basis for innovation. Now, Martin and fellow Rotman expert Jennifer Riel show how they have refined and enhanced the understanding and practice of
integrative
thinking
.
Integrative
thinking
has been embraced by organizations such as Procter & Gamble, Deloitte, Verizon, and the Toronto District School Board - all seeking a replicable, thoughtful approach to
creating
a "third and better way" to make important
choices
in the face of unacceptable trade-offs. Includes new stories of successful
integrative
thinkers that will demystify the process of creative problem solving. The authors' practical four-step methodology, which can be applied in virtually any context: Articulating opposing models, Examining the models, Generating possibilities, Assessing prototypes. Stimulating and practical, this book blends storytelling, theory, and hands-on advice to help any
leader
or manager facing a tough choice. Jennifer Riel is an adjunct professor at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. Roger Martin is Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute at the Rotman School of Management"--Provided by publisher.
