Course Content

This course adds the folling organizational decision making themes to what we have already offered in DM001A:

  1. Group Decision Making:  Organizational Decision Making often takes place in groups.  How does this happen, and how can an organization advance its group decision making capability?  How can I excel in my career by being a sought after member of the organization's group decision making activities?
  2. Distributed Decision Making:  More and more organizations are dispersed geographically.  How can its decision making capability be enhanced by this reality rather than being hampered and becoming slow and restricting as a result?

  3. Decision Making under Conflict:  What if the various role players in the decision making effort do not agree on many of the issues at stake?  How does the organization move forward to arrive at a good decision?  How do I as an individual add value to such a process through my participation?
  4. Decision Making under Risk:  Every decision incurs risk to some extent.  However, there are those decisions where we can only move forward if we are willing to take considerable (and calculated) risk.  What is the best way to approach such situations?

As is the custom in our interactive online courses, this course will provide you with the opportunity to engage in the material and apply it in your own environment being mentored and guided by the course facilitators.
