• Throw the Switch: Once the noise is stripped, the un- knowns are clear, and the criteria are set, it’s time to de- cide. Commit to the path, announce it to the right stake- holders, and trigger the first visible step. Momentum is your best guard against sliding back into paralysis. Where AI Fits, And Where It Doesn’t In complex decision making, AI can be a powerful ally, but only if you give it the right role. Use it to accelerate the heavy lifting: gathering and sorting data, mapping scenar- ios, stress-testing assumptions, and surfacing alternative options you may not have considered.

Think of it as adding an extra analyst to the room, one who works at lightning speed. Don’t use AI to make the final call. It can’t account for trust, values, ethics, or team capacity, the human factors that decide whether a deci- sion will hold in the real world. AI belongs in the Shock and Stabilize steps to clarify the picture, not in the Surge step where judgment and accountability must stay human. When a decision flatlines, the silence can be decep- tive — behind it, risk builds and momentum fades. This approach works to defibrillate decision deadlock, giving leaders a structured way to restart the heartbeat of prog- ress. With the pulse restored, the task shifts to keeping that rhythm alive through each turn of uncertainty. After all, it’s the steady beat of decisive action that carries a busi- ness through the storm.
