Making Strategic Decisions

By Dr. Jim Bradley

A Decision Making Toolkit.

This is a license to run Dr Jim Bradley’s 2 day workshop – Making Strategic Decisions. It comprises a powerpoint presentation of some 75 slides; a 43 page workbook and a very comprehensive training manual.
 
All our licenses are designed so that everything a facilitator/trainer requires to run a given workshop, is in the package. All our licenses are for life. There are no hidden costs, no annual fees, and no cost for more workbooks.
 
Making Strategic Decisions is the life-blood of any organization, and so the aim of this workshop is for attendees to: 

• l  Identify the main obstacles to effective decision making
• l  Understand the nature of the decision making process
• l  Understand a range of decision making techniques.
• l  Use these techniques to build an effective decision making process.
• l  Explain the benefits of having an effective decision making process.

Because:

• l  Decision taken in the organization can potentially impact at all levels - strategic, tactical and operational
• l  Decisions are made on a continuous basis
• l  Review of decisions is not usually part of the process.
• l  Training on decision making is usually delivered to a restricted audience.

The training covers the following aspects of the decision-making process:

• Speed of response
• Resource usage
• Risk management
• Empowerment
• The 8 key influencors (time pressures, uncertainty, risk tolerance, culture, goals, relationships, change and skills)
• Individual decision making and group decision making - the advantages and disadvantages of each
• The 6 key criteria for effective decision making
• The Decision Making Process

Attendees will also be exposed to:

• The 8 elements that need to be covered even before decision discussions take place
• Understanding Meta Decisions (the problem faced, the basic nature of the decision to be made, deciding the actual decision making process to be used)
• The need for setting objectives and evaluating alternatives
• 6 Decision making techniques
• How to use the Decision Tree and the Fault Tree
• How to ask disconfirming questions
• The need to manage risk
• The need to understand linked decisions and trade – offs
• The 4 key Barriers to Effective Decision Making

And in the designers own words - good people don’t make good decisions, good processes do.
