... Debbe has put together a unique document --- part book, part game, part process --- to help people and organizations speed up their ability to solve significant problems in their organizations. Typical of Debbe, this "deck-book" is low in hype and high in utility. As I have examined it, I can see dozens of applications. I am sure you will have the same response.

What she has found, through her experience as both a highly successful IBM manager and as even more successful consultant, is a set of keys which can help you get a running start for solving all sorts of issues that stand between you and your success.

Both for challenging your old paradigms and finding new paradigms I think you will find this book very useful. And, just as important, it will help you deal with problems within your present paradigm as well.

Remember, you can and should shape your future, because if you don't, someone else surely will. And becoming a more effective, more efficient problem solver is one of the most powerful ways of shaping the world that is to come.
