  • 25: ThinkWORKS Episode 25 The Paralysis of Analysis!
    Sep 16 2024
    We've all been there. There's a job that needs doing, but what's the best way? Lots of options, each with benefits and each with compromises. So what do we do, we do some more research... just in case!

    But the just on case becomes postponement and deadline slippage and eventually time-crash! Welcome to the world of paralysing analysis.

    This episode discusses what it is, how to spot it and what to do when you realise it's happening to you!
