PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

• Does your organization have problems that never get solved?
• Do you start implementing a solution before you fully understand the issue?
• Does it take weeks to get key players in the room to even begin discussing problems?
• Are yesterday's solutions causing today's problems?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions it is likely that one or more of the 7 Deadly Decision-Making Models is at play in your organization.
