In last week’s blog, we talked about how we spend inordinate time and energy in meetings – most of which fail to produce meaningful decisions. How do we manage to make simple things so much more complicated than they need to be?
Watch our blog this week as Wayne presents you with a five step decision making process that works. Make sure your meetings produce actionable decisions.
Please feel free to share your concrete action steps for making decisions in your companies.

There are two books on decision making, both are relevant and both describe different processes. In situations where the results are generally predictable, Smart Choices: A Practical Guide to Making Better Decisions . (Hammond, John S.; Keeney, Ralph L.; Raiffa, Howard. Harvard Business Review Press. Copyright © 1999 John S. Hammond, Ralph L. Keeney, and Howard Raiffa) works well. In situations where the results are unpredictable (i.e. what most entrepreneurs face) then Just Start: Take Action, Embrace Uncertainty, Create the Future (Schlesinger, Leonard A.; Kiefer, Charles F.. .Copyright © 2012 Harvard Business School Publishing Corporation All rights reserved) describes an excellent process. Both are useful and practical resources.

Excellent! Thanks!
