KEY TAKEAWAYS

5 STEP FRAMEWORK FOR DECISION-AGILITY

MAKE A META-DECISION
Exploring the problem domain vs the solution generation
Ask yourself: Who must be consulted, consented and informed?

CHECK THAT IT’S RIGHT
A great decision solves the right problem or challenge.
Ask yourself: How do we know if this isn’t a symptom of a bigger issue?

EXPLORE FRAMES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Mental frames affect what we pay attention to. Assumptions are a major source of risk!
Ask yourself: What are our key assumptions and what could invalidate them?

MANAGE BLINDSPOTS AND EMOTIONS
Emotions have a significant impact on our assessment of risk.
Ask yourself: How could this specific feeling affect my ability to weigh risks?

TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE
Ask a colleague or an expert to challenge your thinking.
Ask yourself: Can I check with someone who has an experience of this issue?
