Decision Sprint
The New Way to Innovate into the Unknown and Move from Strategy to Action

Bushâs defense secretary, popularized the concept of âunknown unknownsâ: risks you canât anticipate because they are rooted in things that you donât know that you donât know. In this exploration of smart decision-making, Silicon Valley innovator Atif Rafiq expands on Rumsfeldâs concept. Business leaders must accept that they donât know everything, he explains, urging them to work proactively to discover unknowns and turn them into knowns by using his âDecision Sprintâ system â a process designed to help leaders avoid the pitfalls that derail innovative projects.
