Range, as a book, holds some interesting insights into what the average business person, and just the average person in general, ought to do in regard to information acquisition, retention, and usage. While that description may be too boiled down, I believe the primary use I have gotten out of the book has been just this: the realization that, while my current methodology of research may be useful, it is lacking in scope.
As mentioned in my About Me, I already partially leverage my propensity to seek out a variety of information to my advantage. While practically, I remain unsure of how to apply it to my job-hunting and career aspirations, on a strictly "to-be-informed" basis, I've already found success in seeking out data from outside of my immediate sphere.
As discussed in Range, however, I want to make this skill something useful to me within my career, not just in my general life. As such, there are a number of methods that I ought to work on.
For starters, a new totality of knowledge is in d order. This is primarily due to the fact that, as technology inevitably becomes more advanced, the reach of its effects will expand. In the wake of this, I must be capable of adjusting course and/or altering my legal ventures to accommodate a new market.
Though too far into the future, preparing for eventualities is fundamental to having a good plan. The rest of the foresight tools are modeled after this approach. While some look at specific advances in the field in order to analyze specific possibilities, I've used others in order to plan out my own plan of action, or at least a loose directional tool to fall back on.
As a result, the things I have learned in DT&L, Range, interpersonally, and along with my own personal research, will help shape the direction and methods that I use along my journey.
