Your organisation either claims to be data-driven or has it written broadly across your internal documentation. Yet, you likely still struggle with inconsistent, slow, or biased decisions. The root problem isn’t a lack of data - you have heaps of it - it’s a lack of clearly defined decision criteria. When teams rely on intuition, implicit and unspoken rules, outcomes vary depending on who is in the room, priorities shift unpredictably, and alignment breaks down.
In this workshop we will tackle that gap directly. By building a structured Decision Criteria Catalogue, you create a shared language for how decisions are evaluated across the organisation. This reduces ambiguity, speeds up decision-making, and makes trade-offs explicit rather than political.
More importantly, over time, your catalogue allows for the creation of a transparent Decision Log, demonstrating the effectiveness of your criteria.
In three hours, you will draft your own Decision Criteria Catalogue, have it challenged by peers, and leave with something practical to take back and implement with your colleagues.
Create, refine and deploy your organisation's first decision criteria catalogue, enabling you to increase the quality of decisions.
Identify where implicit assumptions, inconsistent evaluation, and unclear priorities affect decisions.
Learn to translate business priorities into clear, measurable criteria that can be applied consistently across future decisions.
Create a process of how to review, refine, and log decisions so decision criteria are applied consistently over time.
Understand why most organisations struggle with decision quality. You’ll learn the core principles of decision-centric thinking and identify where current decision-making breaks down.
Learn how to translate business priorities into clear, reusable decision criteria. You’ll draft your first set of criteria, making implicit assumptions explicit.
Structure your criteria into a practical, scalable catalogue. You’ll organise, refine, and stress-test your criteria to ensure they are usable, measurable, and aligned with organisational goals.
Present your catalogue to other participants and receive direct feedback. You’ll challenge and be challenged, uncovering blind spots and strengthening your approach.
Learn how your catalogue evolves into a transparent Decision Log over time. You’ll understand how to track decisions, evaluate adhesion, and continuously improve decision-making practices.

I started the workshop having read a few articles on this topic, but really enjoyed the pacing of the discussion, strong visuals, and well constructed exercises. I will be exploring the potential for having a session booked for peers in my career field.
