Have you ever been part of a team wrestling with an issue so difficult and devisive that normally good friends on opposite sides of the issue were refusing to speak to each other? If you had been able to step back and study the situation it is likely you would have found each person saw the issue from a different perspective based on their own experiences. And, each position became entrenched because all saw the "correct" resolution of the issue as important. Too often, those with one position will negotiate a compromise with one or more other positions in order to win a majority vote.
The best way to resolve the situation is to enable everyone to see the issue from every relevant perspective. DecisionMaps enable all the team members to see and explain their perspective as well as see and understand all the other perspectives. So, the team effectively uses all of the expertise available to fully understand and resolve the issue. Such solutions are often innovative and create a significant competitive advantage.
Decisionmakers -- CEOs, COOs, CFOs, Marketing VPs, Sales Managers, field and local managers, entrepreneurs -- have used DecisionMaps to help them correctly decide a wide range of crucial business issues.
DecisionMaps turned their decision variables into a picture so they could see the correct answer with their own eyes. Since a DecisionMap of the best solution has a totally different appearance than DecisionMaps of poor solutions, they knew with certainty they had found the best solution.
