If you’re a people leader aiming for quality outcomes, this course will provide you with new skills that can help you to create a culture of strategic decision-making.
Good decision-making is the foundation of organisational success and it’s how an organisation can maximise the probability of achieving its objectives in an increasingly complex and uncertain world.
Organisations, however, don’t make decisions, people do and the organisational environment in which individuals are situated can profoundly impact upon the quality of those decisions.
The good news is managers, executives and team leaders have the ability to shape this environment. During this course, you’ll get a better understanding of how to create an organisational environment that is conducive to good decisions that maximise the probability of good outcomes.
With an emphasis on practicality, this course is designed to equip you with skills, tools and strategies that can be employed immediately to more effectively use the knowledge, skills and experience of your staff and deliver greater public value through better decision-making.
