Jumping to conclusions too quickly without understanding what we are trying to achieve and why
Making decisions using unconscious assumptions
Misalignment between the team doing the work and leadership groups providing funding
Team feeling overwhelmed by not knowing what to focus on first
Teams falling into a groupthink trap. Decisions are frequently made by the same, most vocal person. Teams repeatedly drift toward a particular idea, and they fail to recognize contradictory information or better solutions.
Lack of early planning that results in poor services, frustration and even lack of funding or misalignment.
Executing projects or initiatives without having a clarity on the purpose and what our customers want

Learn about the importance of decision - making at any stage of the project, and how to improve it when needed.
