Decision Strategies, Inc. Information

For more than 20 years the experts at Decision Strategies have worked with some of the world’s leading companies in a breadth of industries to integrate strategy development and risk management. They assist clients in exploring diverse options, identifying uncertainties, mitigating risks, & developing plans that capture upside value to achieve organizational alignment on the optimum solution. Decision Strategies’ approach to strategy development is based on a few simple principles that were developed at Stanford & Harvard in the 1960s: • Gain clarity around your objectives, especially the tradeoffs you’re willing to make between those objectives. • Develop a variety of creative strategies for achieving those objectives (as opposed to trying to find “the best” strategy right away). • Evaluate those strategies against how well they achieve your objectives, fully understanding the range of possible outcomes, which could result from each strategy. • Use the insights you gain from these evaluations to create a better strategy than any of the ones you initially came up with. How you achieve the points listed above isn’t all that important – there are a variety of tools which can be used at each stage – but ultimately, making a confident strategic decision requires clearly understanding what you’re trying to do, what your options are, and what the range of possible outcomes looks like for each of those options. The process of methodically thinking your way through these issues generates non-intuitive insights. You then use these insights to come up with an excellent strategic solution to your situation. Decision Strategies can be the catalyst that helps an organization improve at making complex decisions by providing ongoing training and coaching their proven, scalable approach. From beginning to end, Decision Strategies is the trusted adviser who partners with you to identify, develop & implement a solid decision and successful course of action.
