Every team has a pattern in how it makes decisions. That pattern determines where the team will succeed, and where it will predictably fail. Most teams never see it, but the costs of that failure are real, recurring, compounding, and defining. Fortunately, they’re also avoidable.

Decision Mapping: see clearly how your team actually makes decisions.

8 Decision Postures: underlying your team’s specific distribution.

Tips for the Chair: real-time tools for leaders to see risks as they emerge.

Decision Practices: tailored interventions that reduce decision costs.
The way a team tackles decisions contains a hidden pattern, which sets them on a certain trajectory. It defines where they’ll naturally add value, but also where they’ll predictably incur costs. Some teams delay when they should act, others commit when they should explore. These patterns are persistent, observable, and costly.
We’ve developed eight distinct Decision Postures, across which we can map the trajectory of your team, based on a short, anonymous survey completed by each of the team’s members. Decision Postures emerge from how the team operates together, not from individual personalities, and each has value (it works well in certain circumstances). But each also bears predictable and avoidable costs.
These are practical interventions, tailored to reduce the costs of how the team makes decisions, without sacrificing any of the value. They bend the arc of your team’s trajectory towards the outcomes it wants. They can be formal governance processes or ‘Tips for the Chair’, which arm leaders to see risks as they emerge and steer their team towards success.
The Decision Posture Assessment takes 10 minutes. It’s anonymous. There are no wrong answers.
