Great suggestions to move into more relatable discussions using quant models. I love the perspective for numbers to provide discussions points. There is seldom an absolute option, but a quantitative approach seems to provide direction towards a discussion that is within a possible range, as opposed to theatre of the mind where people can have a wild range of mental models.
Donald Reinertsen's Product Development Flow is a constant as a physical copy on my desk, as well as a Kindle version - both heavily highlighted and dog-eared.
How do you coach professionals to present and discuss quant models as a point for curiosity and feedback instead of being used to intimidate or be taken as absolutely unquestionable information?
Well, I would follow the very detailed advice from the author himself. He goes into detail in the following video from 2015. He takes on some of the Lean myths too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6v6W7jkwok
