   1) Study PSP and TSP for Personal improvement (no higher-ups need be involved)) and Team improvement (Group != Team). Come up with a simple methodology and metrics to monitor and improve.

   2) Communication Techniques. Eg. 1) On Communication (2 vols) from HBR 10 must reads series 2) The Communication Book: 44 Ideas for Better Conversations Every Day by Krogerus and Tschappeler. While practicing always use problems of relevance and not hypothetical ones.

   3) Decision Making techniques, in particular; Delphi Technique (https://www.toolshero.com/decision-making/delphi-technique/). Also see The Decision Book Fifty models for strategic thinking by Krogerus and Tschappeler. Again only use problems of relevance for practice.

   4) Research Activities i.e. Problem Domain and Tech. Domain study. To identify new pain points, opportunities for Business and new Technologies/Languages/Tools for implementation. They need not be related but should always end with a PoC i.e. not just ending with a "talk". Inspiration: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31626049

   I love The Decision Book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9793361-the-decision-boo...

   ... read and skim it quite a few times and it's super nice and quick to use.

   > an authoritative encyclopedia of business models

   Yes, such a high-level overview would be valuable, if only to provide business model names/types for web searches. Along those lines, there is a small book called "The Decision Book: 50 Models for Strategic Thinking", oriented to individual decisions. Each model receives a introduction and illustration, http://www.amazon.com/The-Decision-Book-Strategic-Thinking/d...
