FREE Lightning Class on Decision Agility
Join me Tuesday 2/27 at 2pm Eastern for a 30 minute class on when and how to speed up your decisions
On Tuesday, February 27th I will be offering a FREE lightning class on Maven.com.
This will be a 30 minute lesson covering:
How to overcome paralysis by analysis
Get simple tools for making higher-quality decisions more efficiently.
Why impact and optionality matter for decision speed
Use my easy-to-implement framework to figure out when to slow down and when to speed up your decisions.
The two phases of decision making: Sorting vs. picking
Leverage sorting (finding options that are good enough) and picking (selecting among those options).
WHY THIS TOPIC MATTERS
Making decisions too quickly can be a disaster. But so can making decisions too slowly, getting caught in an endless loop of analysis that brings on insignificant and incremental informational gains. Having the frameworks to figure out when to slow down your decisions and when to speed up them up offers a key competitive advantage, as well as more peace of mind!
Here are the details! I hope you can join me!
When: Tue, Feb 27, 2024 2:00 PM EST (30 minutes)
Where: Virtual (Zoom)
Cost: Free to join
These aren't so much about agility as decision maintenance and hygeine. They may not fit into your agile talk, but give you some perspective of your audience.
Some of my problems are what decisions to make. Many were not even the right decisions. They came down to how to protect myself or not look stupid. From reading your books and working with a SDM book group (project-management-skills.com/decision-making-model.html), I’ve learned to frame those decisions to what I wanted beyond basically hiding and to expand the possibilities in those decisions offer. Just looking at the decision mechanics makes things dry, academic, and mechanical, but the content of our life.
Also, many of my decisions are allocating my time and energy. I’ve found something like GTD (gettingthingsdone.com/what-is-gtd/)has been a good way to collect all the emails and stuff coming in, clarifying it into projects that define what I want to be done and the next physical action, reviewing those considering my focus and values (perspective), then using those lists to work. That gives me a system to cue up and make all the small daily decisions. I’ve found that there really are no big decisions; rather, there are small decisions that get you to the big things you want to do and be.
