Exciting News! ?? After months of working closely with the incredible Think Bigger team, I’m thrilled to introduce Choice Mapper—our generative AI tool designed to spark fresh solutions using the Think Bigger method. This isn’t just another AI tool; it’s a thought partner that helps you uncover new possibilities and pathways you may not have even considered. ?? What I find most powerful about Choice Mapper is how it simplifies decision-making while providing clear, actionable insights. It helps me move from complexity to clarity with ease and precision, transforming how I approach even the toughest challenges. For instance, I watched as a student used Choice Mapper to secure funding from Eugene M. Lang Entrepreneurship Center at Columbia Business School, turning early ideas into a concrete, actionable plan in less than a month. It’s also been incredibly rewarding to see the recognition from Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research and The Hub at Columbia Business School, where Choice Mapper has helped researchers secure grants and explore AI’s impact on Social Determinants of Health. Starting Monday, I’ll be using Choice Mapper to find solutions to a new problem each week. If there’s a challenge you’re working through, leave it in the comments—your challenge might be featured in an upcoming post. Let’s explore what’s possible when we rethink how we make decisions. ?? Feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more about Choice Mapper. #ThinkBigger #Innovation #GenerativeAI #ProblemSolving #Leadership
