Group Decision Making
"Diversity and independence are important because the best collective decisions are the product of disagreement and contest, not consensus or compromise."
— James Surowiecki, The Wisdom of CrowdsDecision Lens uses two highly effective methods to help groups come to the best decisions.
First, Decision Lens improves individual decision-making skills of each participant. We put a powerful, structured process in the hands of the individual and eliminate the complex and often overwhelming nature of decision making.
This tool drives the right kind of discussion. It is also fun to use.

The software allows the individual to assess each specific component of the decision, and then compiles them all so he or she can see the big picture. Pair-wise comparisons enable the individual to focus on and consider the relative importance or impact of a particular element on the decision.
In effect, Decision Lens enables the individual to focus on what needs to be done rather than how it is done.
Secondly, Decision Lens enhances group collaboration by bringing together diverse participants in various areas of expertise.
Decision Lens software draws on the power of groups to make better decisions. It has been proven that groups are almost always able to surpass individuals at decision making, estimating and predicting.
