Imagine you're trying to solve a problem, but none of your options are all that great. You could walk away. Or you could try to take the best from two inadequate options to reach a smarter, strategic solution.

In today's episode, we're joined by Jennifer Riel, Head of Global Strategy at IDEO. We dig deep into the importance of continual learning, the discipline required to make great choices, and the crucial lens for strategic monitoring while underlining the limited value of relying solely on historical data. Jennifer also highlights the issue of investors' short-term obsession, how to diagnose bad strategy and the significance of annual strategic planning. Using the BlackBerry case study, we examine strategic decision-making during crises and the indicators signalling a need for strategic shifts. The episode wraps with an in-depth discussion on talent strategy in today's hybrid work culture and the age-old question: is a poor strategy, if well executed, preferable? Stay tuned for a lively Pod-pod session with V and Marc to reflect on these insights and more. ____________ Our Guest: Follow Jennifer Riel: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferriel/ IDEO Profile: https://www.ideo.com/people/jennifer-riel ____________ Literature Creating Great Choices: https://www.amazon.ca/Creating-Great-Choices-Integrative-Thinking/dp/1633692965/ IDEO Shopping Cart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M66ZU2PCIcM&t=95s HBR: When to Switch Strategy: https://hbr.org/2021/02/when-to-switch-strategy-in-a-crisis Good Strategy, Bad Strategy Summary: https://jlzych.com/2018/06/27/notes-from-good-strategy-bad-strategy/ How to evaluate corporate strategy: https://hbr.org/1963/07/how-to-evaluate-corporate-strategy  Blue Ocean Strategy v.

“I think that it is challenging to bring our own thinking and our own mental models to the surface because we're not trained to do it. We're not really teaching kids how to be reflective of their own thinking and the role that their emotions play in framing up their conclusions and how they feel about the world. And so we don't have great capability in that. It doesn't mean we can't, there are certainly people who have developed and cultivated a deep practice of reflection and metacognition that enables them to understand not just what they believe, but why they believe it. But I think the truly foundational thing to engaging in this practice for yourself and with others is a recognition that there are very, very few right answers in the world, right?”-Jennifer Reil In this episode of Control the Room, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jennifer Reil about her experience working at IDEO, metacognition, and teaching at the Management School at the University of Toronto.  We talk about her new book Creating Great Choices: A Leader's Guide to Integrative Thinking.  We then discuss the difficulty in building the capacity to think about what we think about and opposing modals of thinking.  Listen in to learn how to build empathy, the curse of knowledge, and failing better.

In our conversation, we talked about: - Design—at its most basic form, it is creation with intention - IDEO's commitment to human-centered design - How design doesn't just apply to physical objects—organizations, services, and strategies can be designed, too - Designing organizational structures that support organizational strategy - How the best strategies are resilient—neither static nor reactive - The Good Job Strategy: How the Smartest Companies Invest in Employees to Lower Costs and Boost Profits (2014) by operations management professor Zeynep Ton - Major takeaways from Jennifer and Roger Martin's 2017 book Creating Great Choices: A Leader's Guide to Integrative Thinking - Applying psychologist Carol Dweck's “growth mindset” to the corporate world - How there are very few “right” answers in complex social systems

When you have to make a tough choice, what process do you follow? Do you seek common ground and compromise, or dig in your heels and insist on your original perfect vision? It turns out there may be a third option. Jennifer Riel has been working with Roger Martin to share their research on integrative thinking, which teases out the best of opposing ideas to uncover a new and sometimes unexpected approach. In this episode of Hack the Process, Jennifer will share how she went from a liberal arts major into executive consulting, what role mentorship has played in her career choices, and why her work focus has broadened from the business world to the elementary school classroom.

We take a look at integrative thinking, a problem-solving theory that MPI Institute director Roger Martin conceived about a dozen years ago. He’s written two books on the subject, 2007’s The Opposable Mind, and the just-released Creating Great Choices, co-authored by Jennifer Riel. Put simply, integrative thinking is a technique through which two opposing ideas are “resolved” by taking the best elements of each to create a new, better idea. The theory was born out of Roger’s quest to get inside the heads of highly successful business leaders like Jack Welch and AG Lafley. But integrative thinking isn’t some business-speak laden theory reserved for managers. Rather, its premise can be applied to almost any situation, from the halls of government to elementary school classrooms.

Rotman School of Management Dean Roger Martin discusses his integrative thinking model and how it can be used in classrooms.

We'll explore how to bring "artistry" into one's life and work -- discovering the edge of what we know. Find out why surprise, uncertainty, ambiguity, intensity and change are all disruptive forces that we typically avoid or fear -- yet why they are the essential origin of both creativity and great performance. Plus, we'll talk about what "integrative thinking" is and why it matters for being more creative. Join us with Hilary Austen, author of Artistry Unleashed and adjunct professor at the Rotman School of Business at the University of Toronto. Find more about Hilary here. Hilary is part of the closing keynote on "Innovation in the 21st Century" at the Advancing Creative Thinking: Imagination to Innovation Conference in Ridgefield, Connecticut, on April 28, and will be leading a workshop there, as well.
