amazing book." --Ian I. Mitroff "...Vince has masterfully blended

to drive change and realize strategic vision. A master storyteller,
he does not just teach, his book brings his learnings to life in a
meaningful way that if carefully listened to, can change the course

knowledge from 50 years of dedicated work in both the public and
private sectors in order to provide leaders with an actionable
framework for radically improving how their organizations collect
and use information to make the best decisions for all the wicked

will make you a better leader and decision maker. Thinking
systemically about how the hard-earned lessons from Vince Barabba's
brilliant career apply to your enterprise could make you a great
one." - Chunka Mui Co-Author, A Brief History of a Perfect Future
and Billion Dollar Lessons "...if you are interested in 'thinking
in systems,' this book is for you. The 'On Star' story demonstrates
to you how the initial product-centered thinking was proselytized
to 'thinking in systems'." -- John Pourdehnad Visiting Professor,
IESE Business School and Faulty of Systems Leadership, Thomas
Jefferson University "In writing Systems Thinking Decision-Making
Process: How to Avoid Burnt Toast, Vince Barabba is addressing the
limits of knowledge management systems which enable 'organizations
as usual' to share best practices on how to scrape toast faster and
cheaper... The examples shared by Vince, from his first-hand
experiences in corporate America or his services as a marketing
consultant, contribute invaluable clarity to his goal of providing
a "sketch of an Inquiry Center Learning and Support System" for
those with the ambition to lead efforts to work smarter, not
harder, firmly against the grain of 'organizations as usual'..." --

Utah University Advisory Council Member and Former Deputy Director,
The W. Edwards Deming Institute (R) "In his 'last book', Vince
weaves the experiences and learning of a lifetime into whole cloth
of insight and wisdom. He helps us to find relevant information
from a rapidly changing world and apply it to making good
decisions. This is a masterpiece of knowledge presented in a very
entertaining way." -- Carl Spetzler Chairman, Strategic Decisions
Group International LLC "This is a truly inspiring and mind
changing book directly relevant for our times... Vince has shown
through his remarkable work that business and government are a
force for good when leaders think long term, work with, not against
nature, and use their influence and resources for the many, not the
few..." -- Osvald Bjelland Founder and President, Xynteo Founder,
