DECISION FOCUS
equips your organization with the essential tools to solve
problems, make decisions and execute plans, faster and more
effectively. Decisiveness - the ability to quickly analyze,
decide and act - is a core skill that is mandatory for all
leaders. It's a set of skills that when mastered, turn average
contributors into exceptional performers.
Decision Focus is series of systematic tools that help you
focus on the heart of issues, problems, decisions and plans.
How Does the DECISION FOCUS
Model Work?
 First,
we help you to diagnose what kind of issue you're facing -
because different issues require different problem solving
approaches.
Next,
we provide a clear analysis roadmap that makes the problem
solving or decision-making process visible. You'll learn and
practice our proven, step by step tools for problem solving
and decision making. You'll learn what questions to ask and
what information to seek, to leverage the greatest results
from the analysis.
Plus,
we give you many valuable strategies for how to do problem
solving in workgroups, teams, and entire organizations. You'll
also learn how to make teleconferences, web meetings, and
virtual meetings much more effective using our model.
But perhaps most importantly, we'll show you how to prevent
many of the most aggravating problems from happening in the
first place!
So the net result is problem solved faster, with more true
collaboration among colleagues. And, a repeatable process
to make it happen over and over again!
DECISION FOCUS can be
learned via classroom training, or independent study.
