  • Making Great Decisions
    APRIL 2013 Chip Heath is a professor of organizational behavior at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He is the coauthor (along with his brother, Dan) of Made to Stick, Switch, and, most recently, Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work. Making great decisions Stanford’s Chip Heath and McKinsey’s Olivier Sibony discuss new research, fresh frameworks, and practical tools for decision makers. 2 Olivier Sibony is a director in McKinsey’s Paris office. He has published numerous articles on business strategy and decision making in Harvard Business Review and McKinsey Quarterly. Every few years, Stanford University professor Chip Heath and his brother, Dan, a senior fellow at Duke University’s Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship (CASE), distill decades of academic research into a tool kit for practitioners. The bicoastal brothers offered advice on effective communications in Made to Stick, on change management in Switch, and now, in their new book, Decisive, on making good decisions. It’s a topic that McKinsey’s Olivier Sibony has been exploring for years in his work with senior leaders of global companies and in a number of influential publications.1 Chip and Olivier recently sat down to compare notes on what matters most for senior leaders who are trying to boost their decision-making effectiveness. Topics included Heath’s new book, research Sibony and 1 See, for example, Dan Lovallo and Olivier Sibony, “The case for behavioral strategy,” mckinseyquarterly.com, March 2010; and Daniel Kahneman, Dan Lovallo, and Olivier Sibony, “Before you make that big decision,” Harvard Business Review, June 2011, Volume 89, Number 6, pp.

  • Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die
    Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die By Chip Heath & Dan Heath Random House, New York 2007, 291 pages Reviewed by Jessica A. Hale ([email protected]), Student Adviser, Orientation, Washtenaw Community College Ever heard of the kidney heist? Or the Halloween candy booby-trapped with razor blades? Want to make orientation as memorable as these urban legends? This book provides simple and effective ways to do just that. For orientation professionals, the challenge of presenting a volume of important information in a very small amount of time and making it stick is often daunting. Too frequently, stories of students who walk into other departments and say things like “No one ever told me that!” are circulated around campus, giving pause to individuals that know that the material in question was covered in orientation. The book is a call to action and a beacon of hope for anyone interested in making their messages more salient and memorable. Made to Stick is based on the idea that some ideas are more memorable or “sticky,” than others. “Stickiness” is a concept borrowed from Malcolm Gladwell’s book on social phenomena, The Tipping Point. According to the authors, “stickiness” occurs when ideas are “understood and remembered, and they have a lasting impact – they change your audience’s opinions or behavior.” Both Dan and Chip Heath have spent the last decade exploring this topic from multiple angles. Chip Heath, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University, spent years doing extensive research on urban legends and topics like, why Nostradamus’ prophecies are still read, why Chicken Soup for the Soul stories are inspirational, and why ineffective folk remedies persist.

  • Sticky Stories Told with Numbers
    Sticky Stories Told with Numbers A review of Made to Stick by Chip Heath and Dan Heath, two extraordinary communicators Stephen Few Visual Business Intelligence Newsletter February 2007 While examining the data, Cheryl discovers a large Hispanic population living within an easy drive to her company’s East Bay store, which could be tapped as a significant consumer base. Not only are the products ideally suited for this community, these folks could save a great deal of money by purchasing them from Cheryl’s company. The executive steering committee will be meeting in three days, so Cheryl reserves a 15 minute slot on the agenda and gets to work. She spends every minute of those three days preparing her presentation. She has read several books about data presentation, so she is not a novice. She knows how to communicate her findings accurately and clearly. When the time arrives, she delivers the presentation flawlessly, leading the executives through a series of charts that outlines the facts. At the end of her allotted time, she is thanked and dismissed. She then waits. Days pass and to her dismay, the matter is never again mentioned. So much for working hard and actually caring about doing a good job—what a waste! Convinced that she has done everything right, andt that the executives either didn’t care or are too dense to see the obvious, she never again takes her ideas to the steering committee. I invented Cheryl’s story to introduce an important truth about effective communication. Even though this particular scenario is a product of my imagination, you might find it all too familiar.
