Organizational Decision Making a strategic asset E-mail

Decision Making is often the silent killer of an organization if its quality is not monitored and upheld.  At the same time it can be the lifeblood of an organization, propelling the company to higher ground - if it is developed, monitored and managed properly.  This is often a slow process (either way), and because of that it is often not handled with the respect and care it deserves.

Wisdom is the ability to consistently do what is best at an opportune time

Consistently making good decisions can bring about a momentum of success in your company that over time is difficult to overtake.  At the same time it is true that while making bad decisions are often not immediately obvious, and do not punish the decision maker immediately with adverse consequences, over time it can be the main driver behind a slow disaster (see Type 2 resilience management focus area.
