Our Philosophy and Basic Tenets

Decision Frameworks philosophy is anchored in several guiding tenets derived from the ancient Chinese proverb, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Decision making is difficult; it becomes more difficult as the number of decision-makers increases. Many companies have taken a team approach to projects and decisions, and the process becomes even more complex when partners or alliances are involved. At the same time, the decisions themselves are becoming more complicated, the investments more significant, and the cost of making a poor decision more damaging.

In businesses where risk and uncertainty are routine, such as the petroleum and pharmaceutical industries, to name two, the case for change has been demonstrated.  When companies use a proven decision process, they shorten the decision-making timeframe, they hold more informed discussions with their executives, they retain more knowledge, and they execute better-run projects. In short, they typically make better decisions and get better results. This proven process, referred to as Quality Decision Making (QDM), is  embedded in Decision Frameworks’ tenets.
