Decision-making
Is there a more Important Skill?
Decision-making is the life-blood of all organisations. Yet it is
surprising how little attention is paid to doing this well. For
there are powerful tools and techniques available which aid in guiding
deliberations, clarifying issues and expanding objectives, criteria
and options. Here at Numerix we have integrated many of these methods
into a robust and streamlined process, (see our "IDEAS"
methodology) one that allows management and executives to arrive
at conclusions in a manner that is structured, consistent and collaborative.
The approach is particularly (though not exclusively) suitable for
collective decision-makers such as boards, panels, committees, councils
and other such bodies.
The methods provide objectivity, transparency and are virtually
self-documenting. They also ensure that the process is able to withstand
close scrutiny - a vital attribute in an era when accountability
and good governance have become paramount.
If your management and executive team wish to ensure higher quality,
more robust and defensible decision outcomes, contact Linda on (02)
9279 0900 for an obligation-free appointment with one of our consultants.

Article: The Common Structure Of All Decisions
All decisions are fundamentally alike. Of course we don't mean that
their content or specific details are alike but rather that they
all have a common underlying structure. For a decision is nothing
more than the problem of selecting one of multiple alternative actions
in order to advance one or more objectives. And this all takes place
within a context characterised by a variety of constraints, conditions,
policies and values...continued
