Problem

Decision owners lacked a shared view of dependencies, assumptions, and escalation criteria. The result was repeated back-and-forth between teams and slow convergence on final decisions.

Method

Introduced a shared decision model with explicit criteria weighting, ownership checkpoints, and lightweight automation checks for dependency conflicts before approval steps.

Measurable Outcome

Pilot teams achieved a 35 percent improvement in decision turnaround while reducing handoff ambiguity and late-stage rework. Decision rationale also became clearer for leadership review and post-decision learning.
