Better Decisions - When it Matters Most

An interactive session designed to strengthen how decisions really get made

Decision-making has quietly become one of the biggest performance pressures in organisations. Over the last 20 years, the average manager has experienced a more than 30-fold increase in the number of decisions they are expected to make. Add the uncertainty and turbulence of the last year, and many leaders are operating in near-constant decision mode.

Yet despite the scale and impact of decisions, few organisations have explicitly looked at how they decide. Many leaders struggle with slow decisions, poor quality debate, false consensus or decisions that unravel at the point of execution but find it hard to name this as the problem.

There is a wealth of high-quality research on decision-making, cognitive bias and collective intelligence. What’s missing is translation into everyday leadership practice.

In this highly interactive session, Dani Bacon and Garin Rouch will help you rethink decision-making as a shared organisational capability rather than an individual burden.

You’ll explore why not all decisions are equal, how to decide how to decide, and how to design better dialogue, debate and commitment around complex choices.

You will leave with:

• Practical tools to improve decision quality, speed and ownership
• Clear ways to handle routine, complex and high-stakes decisions differently
• Techniques to surface intuition, manage bias and use collective intelligence well
• Simple practices you can apply immediately in meetings and leadership teams

Expect reflection, real examples and tools you can use straight away not theory for theory’s sake.
