Successful projects rely on clear, timely, and structured decision-making. Indecisiveness and lack of direction are the root causes of delays, cost overruns, and frustration.
We guide clients through a Structured Converging Decision Process—a logical sequence that narrows broad concepts into focused, actionable decisions without backtracking. Each step builds on the last, keeping the project moving forward with clarity and confidence.
Common Challenges We Help Solve:
No defined decision-making hierarchy
Frequent reversal of prior decisions
Shifting priorities and unclear goals
Vague or undocumented discussions
Over-analysis and fear of risk
Confusion between “needs” and “wants”
Inadequate cost, scope, or schedule data
Quality and schedule resets late in the process
Lack of early financial stakeholder involvement
Undefined roles between stakeholders and decision-makers
Limited access between consultants/contractors and key stakeholders
Our Solutions:
Establish clear decision roles and policies early
Document all key decisions and rationale
Prioritize needs over wants and manage scope creep
Require complete and realistic cost/schedule data
Involve financial teams and key decision-makers from day one
Encourage direct, informed dialogue among all relevant parties
Projects succeed when decisions are structured, timely, and respected. We help clients build the foundation for that success—decision by decision.
