Mike and Ian explore interplay of certainty and ambiguity , as they dissect what it truly means to be an effective consultant. We introduce the concept of 'swagging,' where the ability to make 'scientific wild ass guesses' becomes a vital skill in the consultant's toolkit.
Next we dig into the practical implications of managing ambiguity in client interactions.

They advocate for a mindset that not only tolerates uncertainty but actively seeks to leverage it for creative problem-solving.
