Services for Business

Policies
Businesses thrive on good policies. A good policy liberates. It authorises executive and and employees to exercise judgement within clear boundaries.
Good policies support decision making at the lowest appropriate level by translating the intent of the business into practical actions.
Good policies allow employees to be confident that their decisions and behaviour serve the business’s mission and reputation. They also allow each worker to anticipate and rely on what others will do..
A good policy is written in simple, plain language, where every word counts.
Contact me if you need your polices reviewed, edited, or drafted.

Good Decision Making
All leadership and management is about good decision making. If your employees are not performing to thei potential, it’s highly likely because they are unsure of what makes a good decision.
Good decision making is more than just about ethics or choice. It’s a foundation for continuous improvement, developing subordinates, and liberating all employees to execute on your intent.
Good decision making s a deliberate process of inquiry that advances your business to where you want it to be. And allows you to learn from each decision.
The Good Decision Making workshop takes examples from the military, history, and business to give participants the confidence to make local decisions that execute on your strategic intent.
