Premium Ticket Holders Only , Career Development

The SPADE Decision Making Framework, an acronym for Setting, People, Alternatives, Decide, and Explain, provides a structured process for making urgent and critical decisions, especially those with significant impact on an organization. This framework offers a systematic approach to decision-making that ensures high-quality outcomes and effective communication. SPADE can be utilized whenever a decision is being made, but it is particularly valuable for urgent, critical decisions affecting many people within the organization. The SPADE framework facilitates high-quality decision-making and ensures alignment and communication within the organization.

We will be using a real-world example to illustrate how the SPADE framework can be applied in practice. Participants will engage in an interactive exercise and group discussions to explore each step of the framework. By the end of the workshop, you will have a thorough understanding of how to implement SPADE in your own decision-making processes, ensuring high-quality outcomes and improved communication within your organization. This hands-on experience will empower you to make more informed, strategic decisions that align with your organizational goals.
