| Title | Critical Analysis in Decision-Making: Conventional and "Outside the Box" Approaches to Developing Solutions to Todays Business Challenges |
| Author | James Briggs |
| Biblio | 2002; 234 Pages; Soft Cover |
| Description | What is it that enables some people to make good business decisions more effectively, more often, than others? Great leaders in the public service, business, and the nonprofit sectors, remind us that an effective decision - making process is the key to solving problems for any organization. Effective organizations, both large and small, search for leaders who have good problem solving skills. In the past, the process of making good decisions was handed down from generation to generation by individual managers and through organizational practices. Today's mobile, increasingly entrepreneurial workforce has not yet enjoyed the benefits of this type of mentorship. Middle management layers have been eliminated, and training budgets slashed. The velocity of business today pressures us into thinking we can (and must) skip steps in the decision-making process for the sake of expediency. However, the "quick and dirty" approach ultimately takes longer, and as a result, produces fewer viable solutions. James Briggs brought his pioneering experience creating new markets for IBM, to mentor decision-makers in Silicon Valley - working with start-ups as well as established companies. Organizations like Oracle, Seagate and Netscape have used this decision-making approach to capitalize on opportunities and to address challenges around the world. Few executives teach to others what they have learnt themselves. Mr Briggs is the exception. |
