Today's #[KepnerQuote](https://www.thinkingdimensions.com/resources/blog/kepner) or Quote of the Day: *"Research has shown that half the decisions that are made in big organizations are failures, can’t be implemented, or don’t do the job if they are put into effect. Mix in politics and religion and a raw thirst for power and self-interest, and the score is even worse. And these are the decisions which determine how we and our children will live for the next umpteen years!"*

These words from Chuck ring so true, when we think about the past twenty years of economic growth, downturn, and upswing again. Effective and creative decision making is absolutely vital, now more than ever. [Contact us](https://www.thinkingdimensions.com/contact-us) for more information.
