Decision Making in Uncertain Times

UK house prices plummet by a third
Oil prices rocket to $250/barrel
Environmental costs cripple Chinese economy

 

In an increasingly global, virtual, fragmented and interconnected business world, it can seem as though uncertainty is the only certainty. The business environment in general is undergoing turbulent times and you may find yourself at the centre of this “perfect storm” facing such headlines as the above and other strategic issues. You may not be able to influence many of these unexpected events, but where you can make the difference is in how you respond to them.

 

How confident are you that your company's response would be the right one?

 

Dealing with complexity and uncertainty

Your business, shareholders and partners, will need to make some key, strategic decisions - often in short time-frames and almost always with insufficient information.

 

These decisions will have to be made in complex environments where future scenarios are seldom clear.

 

Yet the impact of these decisions is potentially huge, both positively and negatively.

 

 

How can you make the best possible choices?

Two independent organisations have developed tools aimed at overcoming these weaknesses in decision-making:

Both organisations have based their tools on hard science. The advantages of using them individually to improve decision-making has been proven in the public & private sectors.  

 

 
 
The Benefits
Our methodology allows simple solutions to emerge out of complexity, by offering a carefully structured process to facilitate decision making and encouraging behaviours that enhance rather than block the process. 
 
In particular, we can help you to:
  • Manage uncertainty
  • Structure an efficient process
  • Build consensus and partipation
  • Test and communicate more effectively
  • Implement your strategy with greater ease

Avoiding common flaws in decision-making

To make things even more challenging, decision-making in organisations also has many well-documented flaws.

 

The decision-making process itself may be poorly facilitated or involve the wrong participants.

The limitations of the human mind make it difficult to communicate effectively through language alone.

Behavioural issues such as over-optimism or anchoring often result in an unconscious bias.
