Here’s my approach: 1)Define Your North Star: Before diving into advice, revisit your core goals. What outcome aligns with your vision? 2️) Evaluate the Source: Who’s giving the advice? What are their experiences, biases, or expertise? 3️) Instead of taking sides, consider combining perspectives to craft a path uniquely suited to your situation. 4️) Trust Your Gut: Advisors guide, but only you live with the consequences. Sometimes, intuition knows best.

From my experience, when torn between assessing risks and benefits, adopting a structured method to avoid impulsive or poorly informed decisions is essential. Here are the steps I recommend: 1. Clearly define your objectives 2. Gather all necessary information 3. Analyze risks and benefits 4. Assess your risk tolerance 5. Consider alternatives 6. Make a well-thought-out decision 7. Prepare contingency plans By following this approach, I’ve been able to navigate complex situations and make decisions that both aligned with my ambitions and minimized risks

These are my key questions to take a decision: a) Is this risk aligned with the pillars of the project or enables to accomplish some of them? b) Who is asking to take this risk: the founder or a beneficiary? If it is being demanded by the founder, he might justify the reason, and ease the approval. c) Which might be the consequences of taking the risk? Can we live with them? If loses are big, better counting on higher positions’ authorization. d) Which are the consequences of No taking the risk? Sometimes impacts avoiding the risk generate worse effects on the development of the project. Considering all this, it is recommended to take the action enabling the project & the organization to continue working in harmony with the founder.

1.Check the expertise and experience of both experts on same field , Subject. 2. Track the Success rate 3. Seek third party opinion 4. Check internal library for the similar projects executed in past.

Quite a challenging topic. First, in my opinion we have to evaluate the competence of the advisors themselves. For example, bow knowledgeable they are about the specific risks and how argumentative their facts and evidences are. Evaluation of the risks and rewards is happening based on the facts, otherwise, it’s just a waste of time. Thus, you take all the analytics and data, compare the results of the risks, analyze the rewards and make the assessment what is worth and less worth. When you present the evident based analysis, I guess all the conflicts are automatically vanished, because everyone sees the facts.

Navigating conflicting advice from advisors can be challenging, but with a structured approach, you can make informed decisions. 1. Clarify Objectives: Revisit the overarching goal or decision at hand. 2. Understand Each Perspective: Request detailed justifications from each advisor. 3. Assess Risks and Rewards: Map out potential scenarios for each piece of advice, including worst-case and best-case outcomes. 4. Involve a Neutral Third Party: If possible, consult an impartial expert. 5. Leverage Your Own Judgment: Use your expertise and intuition to weigh the advice against your knowledge. 6. Create a Contingency Plan. 7. Communicate and Decide: Make a clear decision and communicate it effectively to all stakeholders.

Is it revolutionary or evolutionary? For revolutionary, go with your gut. Be prepared to take the risk. Everything good is worth it and no amount of analysis can show it because you don’t understand it yet.

While having credible advisors, data sanctity and External or wild card opinion might work, but what is more important to do is to raise your bar. Raising the bar includes- 1. Being very clear on the subject yourself. It’s your responsibility and decision eventually so even the gut has to support the advised/insights the other helping hands. 2. Put the fear of losing aside,take a pause and sleep over those inputs while the fresh morning is the right time to make the decision. 3. Conflicting advises are good because that’s where the analytical mind starts working and you finally end up taking a well thought after decision. I think, those steps above would help in navigating conflicting advises scenario and in making right decisions.
