offline decisions
Just off a plane after a whirlwind week back in San Francisco, so a little bleary-eyed, and haven’t been great at updating the blog lately. I took a bunch of marketing photos while in SF though, and hope to post some of the them over the next few days.
I jotted the pencil sketch of this cartoon on the turbulent plane thinking about how convoluted decision-making can be. There’s that old saying that a failure to decide is still a decision. Of course, I’m guilty of this too.
It cracks me up whenever I hear, "let’s take this decision offline", in a meeting because the subtext feels like a welcome delay tactic. Everyone’s relieved to just keep the meeting moving. It reminds me of this classic New Yorker cartoon:
