Half of all decisions fail.
That number comes from the research of Dr. Paul Nutt, who collected the decisions real organizations had actually made and then went back to see how they turned out. Close to half never delivered what was intended.
The decision is rarely the problem.
Failed decisions are not usually made by people who lack intelligence or effort. They are made quickly, in isolation, by someone who was committed to an answer before the meeting started.
Given that, we avoid the common pitfalls in decision making and only employ state of the art, evidence-based tools to support your leadership development needs.
Nothing we bring in is a trend, a framework copied from a slide deck, or a program we run the same way for everyone.
The pitfalls we design around.
Deciding alone
One person, one perspective. We put a decision in front of the people who will have to live with it, early enough for them to change it.
Deciding in a hurry
Urgency is the enemy of judgment. We build in the time a real choice needs, even when the calendar argues otherwise.
Deciding to defend
Many failed decisions are attempts to protect an earlier one. We look for that pattern before it costs another quarter.
No two organizations are the same.
No two need the same thing. We do not believe in cookie-cutter approaches. A program that worked somewhere else is not evidence it will work where you are.
The only useful starting point is your situation, described honestly.
The assessment phase.
Before anything is designed, scheduled, or sold to you, we work with you to understand what is actually going on.
Only then do we build anything. What you end up with is built for you, and it can be judged against the picture we started with.

Listen
Conversations with the people doing the work, not only the people signing off on it.

Map
A written picture of where decisions stall, where trust is thin, and where the risk actually sits.

Agree
We tell you honestly what we think will help. If the honest answer is very little, we say that too.
