Managing Decision-Making Workshop

What are the types of decisions? When is each type appropriate to use? What are the drawbacks of each approach? Decision-making is one of the most important things that a leader does – and one of the least understood. Participants in this workshop learn how to define different types of decisions and some of the common assumptions that lead to poor decisions.

Using tools and exercises, participants learn:

  • The five types of decisions
  • The three levels of delegation
  • The role of assumptions – and types of assumptions
  • When consensus is appropriate – and how to achieve it
  • Techniques for making tough decisions
  • Multi-lateral decision-making involving independent entities

Audience:
Leaders, managers, supervisors

Length of workshop:
2-4 hours

Materials provided:
Workbook, password access to online tools

WETA

I would encourage any CEO to go through this process with LRI. In a very short time, we were able to clarify our expectations and unify the staff around common goals.  Now, we have consensus about the next steps we need to take and performance metrics that will let us know when we reach our goals. We’ve really moved forward as an organization.

KQED

The process that LRI took us through was remarkable in several ways. First, you gave us a road map and directed us through a very complicated situation. The end result was a detailed, but easily comprehended, set of guidelines to inform our decision making. What was particularly impressive, given the complexity of the task, was your ability to keep us on schedule and operate within budget. I looked back at my notes today and the process took 10 weeks from start to finish.

PHH

We had a difficult challenge facing us in articulating a clear vision for PHH.  LRI did a great job in getting input from all the participants while at the same time keeping us on track.  We accomplished the goal of agreeing on a future direction. I don’t think we would have gotten there without LRI’s help. Thanks again for your facilitation and leadership.
