Leaders today are faced with endless decisions that have great financial and business effect on the results organizations achieve. While many individuals use a structured approach to decision making, taking into account various factors and consequences, still more make decisions based on “gut feel”. Through a process-oriented decision-making system, leaders increase their chance of making the most appropriate decision for the business, as well as reducing the risk of poor decision making. In addition, this program assists managers in determining when others should be involved with decisions to be made and when to make them independently.
