This short course provides you with skills, tools and strategies that can be used to create an organisational environment that is likely to produce high-quality and defensible policy, administrative, and business decisions. Good decision-making is the foundation of organisational success and the only way public sector agencies can maximise the probability achieving their objectives in an increasingly complex and uncertain policy environment.
However, research has consistently shown that the organisational environment in which decisions are made has a profound impact on the quality of those decisions. Unlike many others in the public sector, managers, executives and team leaders can shape the environment in which decisions are made—for better or worse.
