“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.” - Lewis Carroll
“People will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.” - Frank Zappa

What can we actually know? Do we know what we don’t know? Can we know more about the future? Is there another and better road?

Questions like these have haunted us for decades and every day we are expected to decide on what to do and what not do.

Leadership, strategy, and resource management are a natural part of your working day and often seem easy to start with. Just use the models you learnt in school or the ones provided by more senior colleagues. And yet, as time goes by, business leaders tend to feel more uncomfortable, especially if outcomes are not as expected. And then, doubt becomes your shadow.

So, what can we actually know?

For some people, this question becomes a lifelong mission. At Polarsken, it is pretty much an obsession.

We have explored. We have studied. We have questioned. We have discussed. We have disagreed.

Curiosity has been our companion for many years and thanks to insights from everyday practice and actual outcomes we can now tell a coherent story.

It is this story we would like to share with you.

We do not know everything and cannot predict the outcome of every single action, of course, but there are many things we can both know and predict. Not least, we can strengthen your team’s confidence in the face of everyday business decisions and choices. And that is why we love to go to work every day.
