David Navarro discusses the importance of collaborative perception in decision-making, emphasizing that our understanding is shaped by three realities: our inner truth, self-image, and how others perceive us. He highlights three disturbing facts: that truth is multifaceted and ultimately elusive, that mere possession of diverse opinions does not guarantee a comprehensive understanding, and the need to maintain core human values while considering different perspectives. To navigate these complexities, he advises adaptability, open-mindedness, and the avoidance of biases that can obscure genuine insights.

1. Collaborative perception. 3 Disturbing Facts.
By David Navarro

2. In the complex world we live in, collaborative perception of the truth
is needed to take the best decisions.
“Wisdom resides on a multitude of counselors”, King Solomon said.

3. Disturbing fact #1. Our own human nature.
There are 3 different realities about ourselves.
Who we really are is the sum of these three.
Are we ready to accept them all?
What we believe is our inner truth.
Howweseeourselves.
Howothersseeus.

4. Considering that points of view can be distorted by
various factors, both internal and/or environmental,
how sure can we be about the final result?

5. Issues are like
diamonds, with
many different
aspects.

6. Some are seen at a
simple sight,

7. some are seen through the previous ones

8. and some are totally invisible to us.

9. Disturbing fact #2.
Ultimate truth can not be seen.
Only its reflection.

11. Disturbing fact #3:
Having many opinions is
not a guarantee of having
the “big picture”.

12. Even considering the collateral effects
do not forget to “follow the light”, your objectives.

13. Even if is important to take in consideration
all points of view,
do not forget to measure the effect of your decisions.

14. Never let in oblivion basic
human good values.
They have always given the best
results
And always will.

15. Depending on your objective, it can be wise to narrow you vision

16. Avoid transmitting fears, guilty
or prejudices to your coops
It will hinder them to tell you
their real opinion of an issue.

17. Put on the right type of glasses

18. Try to see things from a
completely different point
of view,
sometimes,
in the craziest possible way.

19. Become the prism in which the views of your collaborators impact,
optimizing their influences on a common good

20. To adapt your truth to give a better image, can be ridiculous.
Avoid staring at distorted mirrors

21. Never forget that, despite our “terraqueous” point of view,
the moon has a face we never see.
Thank you for your time.
