Decisions, both large and small, define an organization, its culture, its direction, its public image, and ultimately its success or failure. Each decision and the process of making and executing on it provide all those involved with a new experience from which to draw upon when making future selections. Organizations, however, are living things; people come and go, memories fade, and circumstances change. Therefore, in order to fully benefit from the hard won and often expensive experience gained through decision-making, a mechanism must be in place to gather, assess, and then make available these lessons learned.

Washington dithering, favoritism, and power grabs are crushing the American marketplace. The question is: Can it survive? All markets possess a natural amount of uncertainty. And it is from uncertainty that great business opportunities are born. Some uncertainty, however, is unnecessary; creating risk without proportionate reward. Fully avoidable, unnecessary uncertainty arises from the efforts of […]
This past Thanksgiving, my eight year-old-son convinced me to play Scrabble. Some members of my family love board games, but me… not so much. I usually just watch. However, with the spirit of the holiday swirling and the smell of pumpkin pie in the kitchen, a game of scrabble at the kitchen table oozed with […]

Decision-making involves a degree of risk that increases with the complexity of the decision to be made. Good decisions not only yield desired results but also minimize the risk exposure of the individual or organization making and executing the decision. While there are many ways to minimize decision risk, one that is often overlooked is the ongoing evaluation of the execution of the decision-making process itself.
