Decision-making is the leader’s primary activity and most important responsibility.

With leadership, decision-making exists because all organizations and entities are affected by ongoing and significant change.

The essence of high-quality decisions is fully about effective collection, interpretation and analysis of data. For the individual leader, that is about information collected from the personal environment. For the organization, it’s about creating a data-driven culture. Because data-driven decision-making is a cyclical process, it is not a one-time event.

Questions to consider:

1. How do we define the values of the organization to enhance the applicability of data analysis?

2. How do individual leaders come to access the data that surrounds them?

3. What is the difference between soft data and hard data?

4. How does the leader translate data points to useable information that informs decision-making?

At Oak Tree Leadership Training, we will work on articulating your value system.

We demonstrate structures that allow access to your most important and relevant data. We will use a 3-step process of data analysis, where you:

1. identify ALL salient data points for summary

2. interpret data by looking for the interaction between data points in an "across data points" analysis

3. extrapolate the data points by thoroughly discussing a robust action plan that will address the issues you highlighted.  

This will enable you to be moving forward with discernible increased capacity for data analysis, and achieving organizational goals.
