This workshop is designed to allow participants to identify, explore, and discuss the effects of key decision-making principles that leverage desired results in the organization, from hiring new staff to expanding the organization or developing new products and services. Participants will explore the principles and pitfalls of making powerful decisions, different types of decisions, the nature of consensus, and roles in the decision process. An 8-step criteria-based model for effective decision-making is introduced and applied through the use of an interactive case study.
