What Are We Missing?

How to Think More Clearly Before You Decide

Every bad decision has a moment before it: the question nobody asked. This book is about that moment. It teaches PRISM, a five-move method to run before any decision that matters, built from real failures where the evidence was in the room and nobody laid it on one table.

I am a civil engineer and Chartered Construction Manager. I wrote this book because the failures I study were never short of data. They were short of the missing question, asked in time.
