The Decision Box
60 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
We talk about “decentralizing decision making” and “empowering teams”. And yet, we are plagued with decision making challenges and escalations that erode trust, limit performance, and reduce safety.
The Decision Box establishes boundaries around decisions so people know what options are on the table. If I asked you to buy me a car, but didn't give you any parameters, how would you proceed? If instead I told you that I require: cost < $50,000; open to a used vehicle; 6 seats; utility and safety, you are now able to make decisions without escalating to me.
This is how the Decision Box works - by considering boundaries like Finance, Go To Market, Product/Technology, and Operations for each decision space, we can set any team up for success.

Advanced Facilitation: Creating and holding space in conflict
120 Mins
Workshop
Intermediate
You’ve worked with the meeting leader, designed a great purpose and agenda, and invited all the right people. Then the meeting goes sideways. Someone comes in angry and drops a bombshell that has everyone fighting. A team clearly has a second agenda but won’t be honest about what they want and need. A leader came in angry and threatening and now nobody will say what needs to be said. You’re trying to help the group make a decision, but they are off on tangents and going down ratholes with no end in sight.
When meetings get challenging, standard facilitation techniques won’t cut it. It’s time to pull out the stops and apply some advanced techniques to create a safe, action-oriented space to help get your meeting attendees where they need to be.
