Training for Your Team
Problem-solving and
decision-making training.
Help your team move from “Here’s the problem” to “Here are the options, and here’s what we recommend.”
A practical workshop using the Decision-Making Framework to connect problem solving to action.
Led by Chris Seifert, author of Enabling Empowerment.
From problem to recommendation
Understanding the problem
is the beginning.
Your team can describe what’s wrong. But the same issue keeps coming back, the analysis keeps growing, or people jump to their preferred solution. They need a practical way to decide what to do next.
The DMF gives them that structure: frame the opportunity, explore alternatives, focus the analysis on what matters, and explain the recommendation.
The Decision-Making Framework workshop
Learn the method.
Practice the thinking.
Examples, exercises, and discussion make the seven-step framework usable in your team’s work.
What participants learn
- Define the problem without assuming the answer.
- Clarify objectives and develop meaningful alternatives.
- Identify the drivers that could change the choice.
- Evaluate uncertainty and economic trade-offs.
- Recognize common decision traps.
- Present the reasoning and next steps.
What they take back
- A shared method for solving problems and making decisions.
- DMF worksheets and reference tools.
- Practice making assumptions explicit.
- A structure for recommendations you can review and challenge.
Designed around your team
For the people making
and reviewing recommendations.
Leadership teams, managers, and cross-functional groups can use the same framework. We agree on the audience, examples, format, duration, and fee around your objectives.
Before the workshop
We discuss the problems your team tackles and where its current process falls short.
During the workshop
Participants learn the DMF and work through exercises that expose assumptions and decision traps.
Back at work
The team has a common structure and practical tools to apply to its next recommendation.
