6. Achieving High Quality Decisions
Wow. What does that mean? Wouldn't we all like to know how to do that. Well for starters, let me say that all too often, in our rush to get our personal agendas out of the way onto the table, we over look the simple fact that we need at the end of the day high quality decisions. To do that we need a system of setting up the scenario to achieve high quality decisions. But what is a high quality decision? It's a decision that has a clear, specific, measurable result or at least the mechanics outlined to attain those desired results. Such a better decision will have an owner. Owner equals accountability. It will be available for all to see. Visibility equals transparency. Transparency equals no surprises. But how about the differences between responsible, accountable, those whom need consultation, and those that require simple informing? More on that later.
