making decisions

Half-day workshop for public sector professionals who want to strengthen how they make decisions in their day-to-day work

Focused on developing clear, structured approaches to decision-making that can be applied across a wide range of situations.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Structure decisions more clearly and consistently
- Identify what matters most in different types of decisions
- Weigh options and trade-offs in a more deliberate way
- Understand different approaches to decision-making and when to use them
- Communicate decisions with clarity so others can follow and act
This is a practical, scenario-based session.
Participants work through a fast-moving scenario to explore how decisions take shape when time and information are limited. This provides a clear, shared reference point for understanding different approaches to decision-making.
The learning is then translated into everyday work, focusing on simple ways to structure thinking, weigh options and communicate decisions.
