Synergistic Planning and
Decision-Making (1 + 1 = 3)

Course Purpose

The effectiveness of a plan or decision is a function of both its quality and its acceptance by those who must implement it. The synergistic model combines both rational and human-centric models for team environments to help teams develop the most effective plans and decisions. This course begins by demonstrating this synergy concept through a project planning simulation exercise. Following analysis of the exercise and examination of the roots of achieving positive synergistic effects (1 + 1 = 3), specific strategies are presented for achieving effective team decision-making. Finally, the impact of dominant behavior style on decision-making skills will be examined, based on the DISC Personal Profile model (it is assumed that students will have already completed the DISC assessment in advance of taking this course).

Target Audience
