Books

A trilogy on decision-making: what the numbers show, what analysis cannot see, and where decisions survive or die.

I wrote the trilogy from what I have seen in companies, boardrooms and disputes. It is organized around three dimensions, Head, Heart and Hands, and each volume includes a proprietary index to assess the decision. The books are written in Portuguese.

HEAD + HEART + HANDS

Volume 1Head

Decisões assertivas

Assess the quality of a decision, not just its outcome

The analytical dimension: how to tell a good decision from a good outcome. It introduces the IQD, an index that assesses decision quality.

Volume 2Heart

Além dos Números

What analysis cannot see

The human dimension: silence, conflict and the dynamics that decide before the meeting starts. It introduces the IHD, an index that assesses the human dimension of a decision.

Volume 3Hands

Onde as decisões sobrevivem ou morrem

Execution

The execution dimension: why a decision taken is not a decision implemented. It introduces the IED, an index that assesses execution effectiveness.

All three volumes are in final review.

The themes of the books take shape first in Notas de um Conselheiro Independente, on Substack, written in Portuguese.
