Decision Making Training Description
Executives and their teams face an avalanche of choices clamoring for action and attention. Good decisions are well defined, made efficiently, and communicated in a way that creates lasting commitment.

When organizations build better decision-making habits, they enable increased engagement, higher performance, and decisive actions.

Decisiveness starts with understanding the type of decision being made (e.g., strategic, operational, tactical) and identifying who is best positioned to make and be involved in the decision-making process.

This customized decision making training program focuses on providing the knowledge, skills, and tools to consistently make high quality decisions. In this highly interactive decision making workshop, participants move real work forward, make real-time decisions, and receive expert coaching and peer feedback.
