The Art of Decision Making

We’ve all been in those meetings: the loudest voice wins, a show of hands decides everything, or worse, everyone compromises so much that nobody’s happy. The result? Confusion, resistance, or decisions that never really land.

This training is about doing things differently.

We explore how groups can make decisions that people actually support, not just accept. You’ll learn a range of decision-making models, from consensus and consent to delegation and advice processes. And more importantly: you’ll learn when to use which model, and why.

Because good decision-making isn’t just about getting to a result. It’s about building ownership, trust, and clarity around how you got there.

On this training you will learn:

• The strengths and pitfalls of different decision-making models
• How to match the process to the moment (and not default to majority vote)
• When to prioritise speed, participation, or buy-in
• How to facilitate decisions that don’t fall apart afterwards
• Practical experience with lesser-used models like consent and advice
• How to make space for disagreement and alignment

This is hands-on and practice-based — because decision-making only gets better by doing it.

Who is this for

This training is for anyone who facilitates decisions — formally or informally — and wants to do it with more clarity, structure, and ownership:

• Managers and team leads
• Facilitators and trainers
• Scrum masters and Agile coaches
• Project coordinators and strategists
• HR professionals and internal coaches
• Self-managing or co-creative teams
• Anyone tired of decision processes that go nowhere or get undone the next day

No experience with facilitation models required — just a willingness to question how decisions get made in your team or organisation.

Duration
