Why Fortune 500 (Specialists) cannot solve a problem but consultants (Generalists) are able to?

Why? Well:
- Clients don’t wanna do things for uncertainty - they are thinking framework to delay our decision - basically waiting until certainty to move forwards.
- Whereas consultants embrace uncertainty and see them as opportunities.
What framework helps:

What is the difference between framework and mental models?
Frameworks are action-oriented representations of how the world works, while mental models are natural representations constructed by the brain to understand the world.

Summarising in a table
ㅤ | Description |
Focus - Via Negativa | Frameworks that help you focus on one aspect of the thing you're trying to do. For example, via negativa, where you focus on what you don't want in order to clarify your goals. |
Segment - 80/20 | Frameworks that help you segment a concept, breaking it down into different parts. The 80/20 principle is provided as an example, where 20% of input yields 80% of output. |
Conflict with Worldview - Types of luck | Frameworks that challenge your current worldview and cognitive biases. The example given is the four types of luck framework, which suggests that luck is not purely random and that certain actions can increase luck. |
Context Switching | Applying frameworks in different contexts to identify common principles and solutions. The 80/20 principle is mentioned as an example, applied to productivity, personal life, and health. |
Action-oriented mindset | Emphasizing the importance of taking action rather than solely acquiring knowledge. It encourages asking oneself whether the thinking process is oriented towards procrastination or taking action. |
Dealing with Uncertainty | Choosing to accept uncertainty as an essential aspect of life and systematically taking action one step at a time, rather than waiting for others to provide certainty. |
Framework Thinking | Emphasizing the systematic approach of using frameworks to guide action and decision-making. A video is mentioned as a resource for further learning. |
