Team Decision Workshop

Resolve one high stakes decision in the right forum

In a single session, we help you make the decision that is not landing.
 
We bring the right people into the room, make the choice and criteria explicit, surface the real trade offs, then capture a clear decision record with owners and follow through actions so it travels beyond the meeting.

Best for

Decisions that loop, stall, or keep escalating because criteria, mandate, ownership, or risk appetite is unclear

Duration

3 hours, or 2 x 90 minutes.

Format

Decision makers in the room (typically 5 to 10).

Advisors can join for specific segments where helpful.

Leave with

One clear decision, rationale, risks and mitigations, plus named follow through actions with owners and dates.

What happens in the session

1. Frame the decision

Confirm the decision to be made, who holds it, what “good” looks like, and what constraints are real.

3. Set decision criteria 

Agree the few criteria you will use to choose, and what you are willing to trade.

5. Land it cleanly​

Agree the decision, capture the rationale, and confirm what happens next, by whom, and by when.

2. Clarify mandate + decision rights

WName who decides, what inputs are required, and what is not in scope for this forum.

4. Surface the trade offs​

Test assumptions, name tensions, and map risks, dependencies, and second order impacts.

4. Make it travel​

Finish with a short comms line and a decision record so the outcome sticks outside the room.

Our approach

We keep authority clean. 

The right people decide, in the right forum, with clear ownership.

We make the real trade offs discussable.

Including the tensions people usually avoid naming.

We separate person from role.

So challenge stays focused on the work, not on individuals.

What to expect

A short call to confirm the decision, decision owner, attendees, and any sensitivities.

Scoping

Prep

You share relevant context (options, constraints, risks, timelines, prior attempts) so we can spend the session on the decision, not the backstory.

Workshop

Structured facilitation to land the decision, test trade offs, and convert talk into ownership.
