Topic:A Normative Model for Decision Making
Abstract:Most decisions have two requirements: They should be “good”, and secondly when others are involved, they should be agreed to.  The normative decision model provides a decision tree with 8 critical factors that determine, not what a decision should be, but how the decision should be made.  This talk uses a common, relevant scenario, whether or not to require a team to terminate remote work and return to the office to walk through the model. The talk will end with a discussion on how the model generalizes and provides alternatives for anyone faced with the challenge of making a good decision.
