It is sometimes perilous to make decisions alone.

Faced with a complex situation, doing the proper analysis of the situation alone, accurately assessing the risks and impacts, and coming to an optimal conclusion can be difficult, if not impossible.

This is an opportunity to leverage the team’s expertise to arrive at the best possible decision.

Indeed, doing this as a team should improve the ability to make good decisions, as you can then take advantage of the collective intelligence to think strategically, identify blind spots and assess interdependencies and potential impacts. However, deciding together also requires aligning different perspectives and personal preferences, which can be challenging and delay action.

If you find that the decision-making process in a team is not optimal, whether it is a work team or an executive committee, then you will find many proven practices in this training that will help you.
