==The Five Habits of the Master Thinker ==
1. '''Establish a culture of challenging key assumptions'''
2. '''Always consider alternative explanations (including the null hypothesis and deception)'''
3. '''Instinctively look for inconsistent data to discard candidate hypotheses'''
4. '''Focus on key drivers that best explain what has occurred or what is about to happen'''
5. '''Anticipate a customer’s needs and understand the overarching context for the analysis'''
