    DePodesta: Building a championship team is a little like cooking a gourmet meal. Only problem: We could only shop at 7-11. #CCHUC11

    DePodesta: Why do we use the same old processes? New times require new processes. (A little "Humanize" in there, @maddiegrant?) #CCHUC11

    RT @sandrawiley: If we were not already doing it this way, is this how we would start? Great question as we head into 2012. #CCHUC11

    Great quote! RT @tomhood: "A long habit of not thinking a habit wrong gives it the superficial favor of thinking it right." #CCHUC11

    DePodesta: Affirmation bias -- ignoring information that goes against our beliefs -- limits our ability to succeed / grow. #CCHUC11

    DePodesta solution: Being humble in the face of uncertainty. When it comes to the future, we're dealing with inexact sciences. #CCHUC11

    DePodesta: We're going to start with data. Data first, intuition second. Helps us avoid the affirmation bias trap. #CCHUC11

    DePodesta: Unless we can prove its relevance to today's game, we're not going to believe it anymore. #CCHUC11

    DePodesta: Implementation = creating a team of players with diverse skills. Everyone we brought in did something above average. #CCHUC11

    DePodesta: Be relentless in asking the naive question. Even if successful with a process, don't be married to it. Be open-minded. #CCHUC11
