Course Objective & Scope

When it is unclear who owns a decision, topics roll from meeting to meeting and decisions that are made never turn into action. The programme covers decision roles with RAPID and DACI, decision speed through the one-way versus two-way door distinction, consent-based decision making and disagree and commit, the decision log, and action tracking in an owner-date-output format.

Teams analyse real decisions that recently stalled and design a decision protocol and action follow-up rhythm that fits their context.
