Decision Making

Decide Without Delay.

Give your teams the power to make complex decisions at the speed of change with Team of Teams® systems tailored for your organization.

Decision Making
Managing Risk

What are 'gut' decisions costing your organization?

Complex change runs on millions of decisions. 

So when your teams lack the insights they need to make them, they are forced to rely on incomplete data and best guesses.

Execution slows to a crawl as confusion grows over which decisions to trust.

And as deadlines approach, leadership is forced to choose between putting the results or the change it needs on hold.

How long can your organization afford to make decisions this way? 

  • Does your org have a history of slow and/or poor decisions?
  • Are your teams risk-averse?
  • Are decisions stymied by too much and/or too little communication?
  • Is there an absence of new, innovative ideas?
  • Does confusion over who is responsible for what bring progress to a halt?

Your organization’s success depends on its decision making abilities. Set your team up to execute your strategy, act decisively, and achieve your goals.

RED TEAM

Bake critical thinking into critical decisions. 

Human tics like bias and risk aversion will sabotage good decisions if you let them. Red Team programs teach teams how to protect their conclusions and make smarter moves.  

WHY SHOULD YOUR TEAMS DO A RED TEAMING PROGRAM?
  • Pressure test conclusions before they become big decisions. 
  • Give your teams the skills to pressure-test their decision-making going forward.
  • Align risk tolerance––and decision-making––with the org's strategy.

Most organizations do not build safeguards against bad conclusions into their decision-making. Let Red Teaming programs give your teams and org a decisive advantage.
