Perspectives
 

Yousuf Haque, Toronto
	"Psychologists employ a whole slew of terms to describe distortions that might creep into one’s thought process: anchoring, confirmation bias, loss aversion, groupthink and so on. It is a pleasure to know that my colleagues and I share a common understanding around the existence of such slips, and actively struggle to counter them through a systematically different approach to problem solving. No one has a perfectly clear mind, free from all defects. That we recognize this and strive to counter it is refreshing and rewarding, both to us and our clients."
Raymond Ma, Alumnus
	"People are all influenced by different external biases when it comes to problem recognition and decision making. It has been demonstrated, in addition to anecdotally, that someone in a diverse group gets it right more often with complex problems, because their model of the problem and solution applies more accurately to the issue at hand. But, if this potential solution is initially dropped and then later shown to be correct, these people are often denigrated because they 'failed' to convince initially and therefore their coming up with the solution is seen as irrelevant. Some organizations have tried to create flatter and/or hybrid corporate structures, but with limited success. Worse yet, while an organization is stuck with an inferior solution, nothing is done to prevent this flaw in decision-making from happening again. Part of the Surje Integrated Process directly addresses the situation just described. By allowing the optimal solution emerge out of personal biases and often conflicting models, clients get vastly superior outcomes."
William Lumsden, Alumnus
	"It is easy to dismiss the need for help when attempting to solve non-technical strategic problems. However, many companies struggle with finding consistent strategic success. The consistent application of a rigorous, robust, and scientifically sound decision making approach, such as that employed by Surje & Company, can help take the mystery out of successful decision making. Surje & Company is truly on the forefront of helping businesses succeed through better business design and integrative problem solving."
