About the Book

This is a book of techniques to help you make robust decisions. It focuses on how to make the best possible choice with the knowledge, people, and time available. It provides methods that help answer four key questions, asked either consciously or unconsciously, every time a decision is made: What is the best alternative? Do we know enough to make a good decision yet? What do we need to do next to feel confident about our decision within our limited resources? Is there team consensus about the decision? It makes no difference what subject the problem addresses; the questions above still apply and generally are not easy to answer. Often, the quality of the decision is only revealed by the passage of time, and then it is too late to change the decision. This book is focused on helping us answer these questions as part of the decision-making process, not as a post-mortem to a poor decision. Readers of this book may be searching for one or more of the following: They need rationality in the decision-making process to demonstrate that a decision was reached objectively. They want a traceable and demonstrable logic trail. They want to measure risk in selecting an option. They want to measure benefit of performing additional work that may improve the choice. They want to provide the team with a structure for building a shared vision. They have people from different backgrounds and viewpoints on the team and want to insure that all voices are heard. They need to manage uncertain, inconsistent and conflicting information. Consensus is important in this book as evidenced by the name of the supporting computer program, Accord. Instructions for how to download a free demonstrationversion of Accord are given in the book. The methods presented in this book will help make your decisions more robust with or without the use of Accord. Robust Decision-Making is a method for developing a common vision and solution much like what is suggested in books on teamwork. However, there is a major difference between this book and those on teamwork. Teamwork books tend to tell what a team should do, whereas this book and Accord give steps for how to do it.
