4 Steps to Effective Decision making

OrgDev with Distinction

We'd love to hear from you so send us a message!

Today, making decisions has been elevated to an art and a science. There are thousands of academic journals and books on decision making and hundreds of frameworks to choose from. Many people have made their whole careers out of studying the topic and teaching others how to make better decisions. That’s a lot of resources but most organisations don’t have the time or manpower to make use of them all. While having all those resources is great for every day, it can make it challenging to decide where to start when you need to improve your decision making process. We took on the challenge of distilling everything down into something that would work for almost every organisation — and we've shared it with you in this Podcast. It's highly practical and you apply it in your work immediately. We'll also be busting some of the myths surrounding decision making
