Full Participation by Stakeholders Creates Consensus and Accountability
Different agendas, levels of responsibility and degrees of expertise can create discord when groups meet to set priorities for collective decisions. But these differences can also provide rich opportunities for innovative solutions and effective decisions. The key lies in having a structured and proven process for group decision making.
Decision Lens brings together diverse participants to make successful group decisions
Decision Lens enables decision makers to establish a common set of evaluation criteria for decisions, and collaborate towards a better allocation of organizational resources. The outcome is an improved, repeatable, reliable process for reaching the best group decision quickly. Here are some key reasons why Decision Lens is a powerful tool for group decision making:
- An organized decision is a smarter decision. Studies have shown that people are unable to deal with more than nine factors at one time. However, a decision can often be influenced by a dozen or more factors. Decision Lens helps you better organize the decision hierarchy by clustering criteria together and then breaking them down further in the lower levels of the hierarchy.
- All decisions require some judgment. Because judgment is subjective, all decisions are subjective. Using Decision Lens, participants can explicitly communicate their positions throughout the entire decision process so the group can evaluate the exact reasoning behind choices. This provides accountability and creates a structured foundation for future decisions. The software provides an audit trail that shows exactly how each participant contributed.
- Shared responsibility produces better results. Participants put more thought into a decision when they're involved in the process from the beginning. That’s why it’s important to include them from the start, in defining the decision criteria–-not just in evaluating final choices. Decision Lens encourages full participation by collecting input from all the contributors throughout the entire process.
Decision Lens provides you with the right tools that equip you to structure the process of group decision making. You have control over defining and prioritizing the criteria, evaluating the choices and ultimately making the decision. We show you the way to get there. You take all the credit.
