Creating a Culture of Strategic Decision-Making


Course
Purchase for $440.00 (AUD) incl. GST

This course provides you with the knowledge, skills and tools needed to create an organisational culture conducive to decisions that are consistently aligned with your company's goals, and maximise the probability of achieiving your business objectives

Better business decisions are likely to produce better business results. High-quality decision-making is the foundation of business success, and the only way that companies can maximise their chances of achieving goals such as increased revenue, greater market share, or higher profitability.

However, research has consistently shown that the organisational environment – the culture – in which people operate has a profound impact on the quality of their decisions–decisions on which the success of a company depends.

Designed for both individuals and teams, this short, fully online course provides managers, executives, and others in a leadership role with skills, tools and strategies that can be used to create an organisational environment that is likely to produce decisions that give companies the best possible chance of achieving their goals.

    What participants' say

    Nicholls Consulting explained why we make the decisions the way we do, and provided us with wonderful strategies to make better strategic decisions going forward (with far more confidence). Dr. Nicholls’ engaging style and relatability also gave me the ability to apply the same strategies to achieve better results in my personal life.

    Opened our eyes to new possibilities
    We couldn’t have put together such a good plan if it wasn’t for Nicholls Consulting. They opened our eyes to better systems and processes for us and our clients. If you’re thinking about using these guys, I highly recommend them. 
    Mark Kirk, Director, SEOMarketer

    Thought provoking and inspiring. This course equipped me with practical skills and insights which I have not gained from other programs. I am confident that I will be able to apply this knowledge immediately in my role as an executive reporting to a board.

    Still, why should I invest in this training?

    Put simply, decison-making is the only thing over which you have any control. And yet, it is something that you probably haven’t been trained how to do. While our strategic decision training is likely to help you to make better decisions for many years to come, if it helps you to get only one major personal or professional decision right (or avoid getting one major decision wrong), it will have paid for itself many times over. And with well over 90% of participants surveyed saying that our courses provided them with knowledge, skills and tools needed to make better decisions, you can rest assured that learning how to make good decisions is likely to be one of the best investments you’ll ever make.
