The Decision Book: 50 models for strategic thinking<\/strong><\/a>
\nBy Mikael Krogeus & Roman Tsch\u00e4ppeler
\n176 pages, hardcover<\/p>\n

I picked this one up when I was in Singapore last year and it\u2019s an interesting little book! I wasn\u2019t looking at anything in particular that day but the title of the book intrigued me \u2013 I\u2019ve always been a sucker for models of all sorts, but particularly ones that relate to thinking and creativity.<\/p>\n

This little black book is a compact summary of 50 models of strategic thinking, broken down into four different chapters: How to improve myself, How to understand myself better, How to improve others and How to understand others better. From the popular SWOT<\/span> model to obscure but interesting Swiss Cheese model, the book lays out tests, plots graphs and uncovers a lot of thinking process models that are useful to not just corporations and businesses \u2013\u00a0but to everyday people like you and me. In fact, one reviewer on Amazon said that the book didn\u2019t cover enough for corporate types, so that\u2019s good news for the rest of us!<\/p>\n
