COURSE

Decision Consulting Workshop

The Decision Consulting Workshop (DCW) is an essential step in building or growing an internal decision support group. SDG’s goal is to help your organization move away from decision-making based on “advocacy” by project champions and toward a more powerful, collaborative Dialogue Decision Process. This two-week workshop, SDG’s “basic training” for its own staff, teaches the group facilitation and decision analysis skills that SDG’s decision consultants use to guide organizations toward winning strategies.
