About This Course

Transform your team's effectiveness with "Decision Making: Improve Team and Meeting Productivity!" This course tackles the common frustrations of unproductive meetings and poor group decisions that hinder progress and undermine results. Discover how to identify and overcome the four most prevalent meeting pitfalls, including ineffective information sharing, too little critical behavior, being overly solution-focused, and unproductive "talking in circles."

You will master the innovative "Decisions by Design" framework, a four-step process for collaborative decision-making that ensures reliability, support, and long-term impact. Learn to:

  • Craft a shared understanding of facts, moving beyond individual biases and tunnel vision.
  • Engage in powerful reflection to foster personal connection, motivation, and address emotional responses.
  • Uncover profound new insights from diverse perspectives, critically examining options and preventing groupthink.
  • Drive decisive action and ensure effective, time-boxed follow-through for sustainable results.

Additionally, you'll explore the critical balance between a "culture of advocacy" and a "culture of wonder" for richer interactions, and gain practical skills using the Decision Design Canvas to visually structure discussions and record decision roots. Harness the power of strategic questioning to lead engaging, outcome-driven conversations. By the end of this course, you will possess the tools and confidence to facilitate truly productive meetings, foster stronger team bonds, and consistently make evidence-driven decisions that propel your organization forward.

Marjolijn de Graaf is a Change facilitator and Decision designer for organisations in change IMPACT COMPANY, Netherlands As a change architect and change facilitator, I have a psychological view on organisational development. Managers hire me to support themselves and their teams to deal with changes in such a way that they produce more impact, more (human) energy and more sustainability. My attention goes out to the social dimension of a technological or organisational innovation: that is about attitude and behaviour. I believe in the power of co-creation, because change is not feasible, but mainly arises in the interaction between people. So my work mostly consists of designing meaningful moments of interaction (sessions and dialogues) with which I guide managers and teams in their change assignment. As a senior Change practitioner and published author I have a track record of facilitating behaviourial change projects with my proven approach of Decisions by Design.
