Governing Dynamics

Governing Dynamics are principles that I use when developing a business, reasoning a problem, managing risk, isolating the best ideas, or identifying opportunities for the future. Not to be confused with the Nash Equilibrium, the Governing Dynamics I will go over deal with: Asymmetries, Uncertainty, Noise, Bias, Signal, Reasoning, and Black Swans. For simplicity, I’ve only listed ones relating to technology, business, disruption, and change.

  • Asymmetries

    Asymmetries can provide outsized gains and deliver unimaginable losses. Learning how to identify, assess, and master them is essential to building companies that win over the long term.

  • Noise, Bias, and Signal

    Learn how to identify the most relevant Signals in a world increasingly awash in Noise. Mastering the RQ:RA Methods and ODCM Loops can help teams consistently identify the most relevant signals.

  • Think Forward/Reason Backwards

    Gain a competitive advantage in developing products, services, companies, and complex strategies by learning how to Think Forward and Reason Backwards.

  • The Turkey Problem

    Develop procedures to handle Black Swan Events by mastering the Possibility & Probability Continuum. Even when you can’t predict what will happen, you can still be prepared to benefit from uncertainty.
