Are we losing our ability to think? We turn to Google for answers. We use GPS devices for directions. We rely on our smart phones for everything else. But what is this doing to our thinking? The lure of turning all decisions into menu-driven options is dulling our senses and taking the edge off the use of our common sense. Consider: The engineer who searches the Web and thinks that’s all there is. The designer who follows a template when it doesn’t make sense. The police officer who can’t find a location when the GPS in his cruiser dies. How do we get people to solve problems when the screens go dark? How do we adapt when the easy answer isn’t a click away? Common Sense by Friday will explain why and show you how we need to re-think the way the way we think. Based on hundreds of interviews and conversations with managers and leaders, you’ll discover how to rekindle the critical thinking and problem solving skills in those around you. Whether you’re selling to customers, managing a project, or leading the company, this book and keynote session will provide you with practical ideas for turning today’s menu-driven thinkers into productive problem solvers.
