The way that we make decisions is important to the teams and organisations that we are a part of. It establishes reference points and highlights what is important. When done well it creates clarity and precision, when done badly it confuses issues and makes a team unsure about their goals and motivation. This course looks at the key skills needed in the decision making process and gives professionals the skills they need to put them into practice. Scenarios specific to the publishing industry are combined with relevant theory to help learners put their skills into practice.
