- DECISIONS: the complex social and psychological set-up of a society is one in which many varying personal and political objectives influence the outcome of any decision-making-process. The success of such an organization, indeed its efficiency and effectiveness is centered … in one’s ability to think, decide and act strategically. “Thinking and deciding strategically” requires a focus to be upon Decisions and to somehow anchor the brilliance of this process. Such Decisions create a desired and brilliant future. The correctness of these decisions and the ability to effect (bring about) or affect (influence) the right decisions are at the core of all success throughout history.
- THE PROCESS: achieving desired change is the functional outcome of decision making. The determinant is ability – indeed, you and your organization’s ability - to bring about desired change – rooted in your ability to manage the process. A desirable process would be made up of elements which interact to form patterns. It is the knowledge of the elements and these patterns plus the skills of managing the process which are at the core of historic success. You need a map.
- Additional PROCESS NOTES - It is the omission of this knowledge and these skills where you discover the root cause of historic failures. The Decision Mapping® Process presents the opportunity to provide you and your organizations a MAP of the process and the patterns, plus the skills required to master this process. These elements are to be combined with experienced methods of adult learning, plus the experience of managing such projects - to assure success.
- LEARNING: our institute proposes the use of The Decision Mapping® Process to build human resource competencies, and the abilities to affect decisions both internal and external to your organization. Yes, the success you desire is the result of great decisions made by your organization but also by organizations and individuals external to your own. Mapping organizes you and your teams around those decisions.
The “Map” is a tool for strategic thinking and communication. The methods of introduction also offer an organization the highest levels of learning and ability, equipping participants to use the proven patterns of a process map, the skills for decision making, and methods for analysis and high-intent strategy formulation.
With a map, such wisdom can be recorded and documented. The Mapping Alliance's goal is to equip you with a mastery of process, including the necessary knowledge and skill to achieve selected mission even in an evolving environment with priorities changing rapidly.
If there is a need to establish these levels of wisdom - such a map – which in fact has been around for a long time, offers organizations a way to optimize their growth and to influence the decisions which indeed can change the world.
