A user's guide to decision-making hygiene

Consider some of the big decisions that you make in your job? Whether it’s setting a yearly plan, deciding what technology or infrastructure to invest in, or even hiring and firing staff, chances are there will be a lot to contemplate before settling on the final choice.

Questions like ‘How long do I have to make the decision? How much information do I need to collect? What don’t I know? And who else do I need to involve? are just a few that come immediately to mind.

But with such a long list of potential steps to consider, one could be forgiven for missing a few.

On this show, the third of a four part series on decision-making, host Sam Robertson & special guest David Joyce outline a user’s guide to decision making hygiene in sport, outlining a series of must do process and steps that should be implemented before, during, and after you make that big call – as well as some to address when faced with the same conundrum again.
