Decision Making For Dummies

Introduction

Take a look at any company’s results, and you see the effectiveness of its decision-making. One needs only to witness our global issues — such as diminishing biodiversity and lack of employee engagement — to recognize the consequences of past decisions. Expanding decision-making proficiency requires evolving deep perception together with higher awareness at a personal and organizational level. Without being able to see the big picture, decision-makers can’t leverage the invisible forces to achieve prosperity.

As the business environment has changed from being predictable to being uncertain and from being simple to being complex, a transformation is required in how decisions are made, both individually and within organizations. As it redefines its role in society, business must restore trust with its employees and its customers. Personally, professionally, and organizationally, it’s time to gain access to all your creative resources and intelligences so that you can make the decisions you need to, to prime your company for success in this ever-changing world.

In this book, in addition to insights into intuition — a key but often overlooked component of good decision-making — are thoughts and ideas from inspirational business owners, stories of innovative start-ups, and conventional and collaborative tools. Mostly you discover how you can participate in designing both a fresh, rejuvenated world of work and world at large.
