My summarized learnings for this book
- Watch out from the decimal when working with percentage as it contains financial holes
- Deciding for IT resources allocation must be governed well and non-technological executives shall also listen
- People will understand the importance of a concept and problem if the language spoken between parties are related
- Ask more questions before indicating a decision
- Information is generated by the senses, but their source comes from asking questions derived from the given context
