Complex Decision-Making
Challenge
What makes so much business decision-making complex and challenging?
- Many and varied criteria
- Very different options
- Several people involved
- Hidden agendas
- Insufficient information
Does this sound familiar? Major decisions are frequently hampered by some or all of these complications.
The result? Costly delays, unproductive tension, and, often, a sub-standard decision which has long-term, costly consequences.
Solution
Lumiere’s Complex Decision-Making process enables the participants to identify all of the desired benefits of the decision and to assign appropriate weight to each. The process then allows them to assess each potential solution against each of those intended outcomes. By breaking down the decision-making into these components, due consideration is efficiently given to each issue, each option, and each decision-maker.
Benefits
The process results in alignment on the outcome because the decision-makers were involved throughout on a rational basis, with every issue considered on its merits. While the process greatly enriches the rational element of the decision, the emotional element is also enhanced by the fact that everyone feels more included and that the decision was fair.
