Insanely Interesting People who Influenced me – #7 Dan Ariely

For the rest of the year, I would like to take a moment and thank the people who have had a significant impact on me as an individual.

Five-P factors for Root Cause Analysis – Gartner

I read a post by Lydia Leong of Gartner on her blog about the 5P’s for root cause analysis for any given problem (the 6th P). You can read the entire post here.
