Decision Making for Leaders

Senior Managers today have to make decisions that lead to outstanding performance in a complex dynamic environment. Information Technology seems to provide so much data that answers to organisational problems are often obscured rather than highlighted. Important decisions cannot be left to intuition alone. We need to evaluate different courses of action, make recommendations and communicate the structure of our reasoning. We often have to defend our choices and make presentations that show we have done a thorough analysis. We also need to make sense out of various sources of data and organise the inputs of experts and colleagues.
