Artwork: Matt Phillips , Untitled , 2011, oil on canvas, 18″ × 24″ Deciding How to Decide by Hugh Courtney, Dan Lovallo, and Carmina Clarke You Can’t Be a Wimp—Make the Tough Calls an interview with Ram Charan Beyond the Echo Chamber by Alex “Sandy” Pentland What Makes Strategic Decisions Different by Phil Rosenzweig About the Spotlight Artist Each month we illustrate our Spotlight package with a series of works from an accomplished artist. The lively and cerebral creations of these photographers, painters, and installation artists are meant to infuse our pages with additional energy and intelligence to amplify what are often complex and abstract concepts. This month we feature the work of Matt Phillips, a painter based in Brooklyn, New York, who uses familiar forms to explore spatial relationships. “If you work with simple components, and they all work together to transcend their parts,” he has said, “that’s the magic of painting.” See the artist’s work at paintingpaintings.com.
