    <guid>https://mindwavevaultzone.com/notes/how-to-run-a-decision-audit.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[Most organisations have one decision they keep getting wrong. Not a different decision each time, the same one, dressed up in slightly different clothes. It might be a hiring call, a pricing move, a scope change, or a resource allocation. The details vary. The outcome is consistently worse than it should be. A decision audit is a structured way to find out why.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Most strategy documents are too long to use and too vague to act on. A strategy map is different. It is a single page that shows where you are, where you are going, and the three or four things that have to be true for you to get there. Small teams find it more useful than large ones, because there is less room to hide behind complexity.]]></description>

    <guid>https://mindwavevaultzone.com/notes/organisational-wiring-how-decisions-stall.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[A team of five makes decisions quickly. The same people, now a team of twenty, suddenly takes three weeks to agree on something that should take an afternoon. The people have not changed. The structure has. Understanding why decisions stall is the first step to fixing the wiring.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[A quarterly advisory retainer is not a consulting project with a monthly fee. It is a different kind of relationship. The value is not in the deliverable at the end. It is in the accumulated context, the ability to pick up a conversation where it left off, and the discipline of a regular thinking session with someone who is not inside the problem.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[A well-facilitated workshop produces one thing: a decision the whole team has made together and understands well enough to act on. Most workshops produce something else: a long list of ideas, a set of themes, and a follow-up meeting to figure out what to do with them. The difference is almost always in how the question was framed before the session started.]]></description>
