Framework

Decision-Making Framework

What a business should prioritise now, defer, or discard entirely, once the real constraint is understood.

Lay out the real options

Not just the two the team has already been debating.

Weigh cost of inaction against cost of action

Make the tradeoff explicit instead of implicit.

Assign a decision owner

Every decision needs one accountable owner, not a committee.

Set a review point

Decide now when this decision gets revisited, not if.

When we use this

When a business has too many competing priorities and no shared way to choose between them.
