Even though my nerdy credentials include a stint arguing the toss at Oxford’s Debating Society, I think business, like politics, has become too preoccupied with winning arguments, rather than fixing problems. The best way to win an argument is to reduce a problem to very narrow, mathematically definable components, and then come up with a theoretically optimal solution. But this is a terrible way to solve a problem. Take electric cars. We have some of the brightest minds in the world all working to improve batteries to increase the range and charging speed of electric cars and reduce range anxiety. But it’s a hell of a lot cheaper to reduce anxiety than it is to increase range. So next time you’re thinking about how to solve a problem, ask yourself “Could I solve it more effectively by reframing it as a psychological issue?” Sure, psychological questions are messier than mathematical equations, but there’s a strong chance this approach will lead to better, more creative, and cheaper solutions that were hiding in plain sight all along.

Rory Sutherland makes a great point about reframing our approach to problem-solving. Instead of sticking to the same old methods, we should look at problems from new angles. Reframing often involves true collaboration. Too often, leaders walk into problem-solving meetings with their minds already fixed on their own solutions. This mindset can stifle innovation and keep us stuck in old ways. We need to stop steering the ship alone and start listening to the unique ideas from our trusted team. When we work together, we unlock innovative and revolutionary solutions. #leadership #creativity #innovation

Beautiful. I think in other fields, fields other than marketing - people have knowledge over something, and they debate or argument- as you said in the video- over their ideas of what they know, and the best knowledgable person, or idea gets a chance forward. While marketing is not about knowledge, knowledge helps, but marketing is more about knowing. Knowing is completely different from knowledge. Knowing is to give an insight into what is and developing something new out of it. Whereas, finance, I'd argue is using whats already known, i.e., the knowledge and then making a way forward.
