What is the business question?
Does your solution get used? Why not?

Workplace Challenges
• Communication• Influence others more senior than you• Effectively and persuasively share analysis
However, the bulk of the people we work with are human. Humans are emotional creatures of habit and don’t always listen to reason.

Role of the analyst
• Rational objective analysis• Accurate• Impartial• Dispassionate
ASSUMPTION: Objective Reality Exists
Does it?

Problem with humans
• Action preferred over accuracy• Ambiguity is inherent in life• Ambiguity ≈ Risk• Risk Negative Emotions• Motivation: Pursuing Gains or Avoiding Losses• Avoiding Losses > Pursuing Gains
Result is a tendency to make decisions on feelings instead of knowledge

Low Involvement Logic
Benefits of graphics that can be processed at this level:
