Don Sull has an interesting new series of posts on his blog about the types of information that managers must use to update their mental maps during turbulent times. Here's a brief excerpt from the introduction of his latest blog post:

My last three blogs have discussed the importance of real time, unfiltered, and shared data. This post argues that holistic data is critical to spot opportunities and threats in volatile markets."
