Decision Frameworks™

How your leaders decide when the answer isn't obvious.

A compact set of decision frameworks your leaders can pull off the shelf when the stakes are high, information is incomplete, and speed matters.

Frameworks included

Each framework fits on a single page and includes prompts, roles, and a written output.

  • Reversible vs. Irreversible — how to size the decision
  • One-Way vs. Two-Way Door — speed vs. deliberation
  • RAPID assignment — who Recommends, Agrees, Performs, Inputs, Decides
  • Pre-mortem — surface failure modes before commitment
  • Decision memo template — five paragraphs, no more

How to use

Choose the framework based on reversibility and stakes. Write the decision down. Revisit in 30 days to compare outcome to intent.
