Abstract:
Decision Quality as concept touches on many analytical and psychological areas - it is fascinatingly human. And, while recognising both the analytical and behavioural sides, most of us see DQ as a great business skill. If only all of us (i.e. our managers, our organisation) would adopt it, right? So why isn’t DQ as a tool spreading like wildfire in our organisations?
In this presentation I will share some observations of my own 24-year DA/DQ journey, many of those years it was “just” a neat analytical business skill. And I propose that a key to further Organisational DQ is to embrace DQ as a life skill. Which raises the question - what are the key triggers to make that pivot?
