“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain (1835 – 1910) American author and humorist

All choices require the decision-maker to deal with a degree of uncertainty and ambiguity. Many times the information needed to make the highest quality decision simply does not exist, is unavailable to the decision-maker, or cannot be identified within the decision’s needed timeframe. Consequently, these information gaps are filled with assumptions – the best educated guesses of the decision-maker and his or her team – in order to allow the decision-making process to move forward. These assumptions necessarily contribute to the uncertainty surrounding the decision and therefore must be treated carefully.

Projects represent change and change requires communication. In order for communication to be successful, it must be received, understood, and acted upon. Achieving these factors can require a substantially different approach when communicating with different groups and individuals. Consequently, effective communication is frequently difficult and time consuming. Thus, a clearly defined communications plan is needed to maximize the probability of each communication’s success while minimizing the overall effort expended.

Decision-making always possesses an element of uncertainty. And as the complexity of a decision increases, so does the risk of miscommunication, execution error, unanticipated conditions, and unintended consequences. Unfortunately, even the staunchest contrarian may operate from an experience base closely aligned to the decision-making team; limiting the span of his or her challenges. Consequently, another mechanism is needed to provide the decision-maker with the complete set of challenges to his or her choices.
