The document discusses the importance of decision leadership in guiding teams to high-quality decisions, especially in challenging contexts. Decision leaders diagnose decision situations, design effective decision processes, lead the decision process, and assess the level of decision quality achieved. Effective decision leaders orchestrate activities like selecting appropriate tools, defining roles for decision makers and project teams, and maintaining communication to achieve quality decisions.
DesignChain Business-by-Design Workshop Pack for IIBACraig Martin
There are a number of disciplines that provide “services” to an organisation. The challenge is that these disciplines are often overlapping, resulting in a loss of coherence amongst the actual disciplines and individuals that are meant to CREATE synergy and coherency.
How can we create synergy between design thinking, architecture thinking and agile thinking? Is there room for hybrid thinking?
There is also a lot of noise around tools and techniques within each of these disciplines. The challenge is how do they relate to one another? How can we build on these tools and techniques in a manner that not only extracts value from each but also facilitates a more coherent and higher value conversation with business.
In this whiteboard workshop aimed at Senior Business Analysis and Strategic Business Analysts, Craig will take attendees through a process of linking human centred design thinking, with strategic and business planning, business architecture and agile thinking.
Learning objectives:
Understand and be able to sell the value of the 4 disciplines
Understand how the 4 disciplines interact and when and where to use them
The 4 disciplines:
Design Thinking
Strategic Thinking
Business Architecture Thinking
Agile thinking
If you are interested in learning to communicate better (clearly, concisely and crisply) and in learning to talk like an executive, this deck is a starter for you.
Like A Boss: Why Executive Presence Matters and How You Can Master ItJennifer McClure
A recent study reported that 81% of business leaders found the concept of executive presence so contradictory and confusing that they don’t know how to act on it; however, having an effective “executive presence” is a determining factor in the ability to impact business strategy, grow your career and influence others.
Credibility, communication, countenance, courage and cultivation are the behavioral competencies honed by all leaders who speak clearly, ask mindful questions and have maximum influence in an organization.
While some people are natural born communicators, the good news is that an executive presence can be developed. Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, you can grow as a leader and advance your career by understanding the five keys to developing an executive presence that will allow you to communicate in a powerful way.

Strengthening the connection between the business and supply chain networkAnaplan
Creating a leaner and more cost-effective supply chain requires true business collaboration— connecting supply chain, sales, and finance across data, people, and plans.
Integrated business planning (IBP) provides that competitive edge by increasing the speed and transparency of decision-making to connect the strategic and financial goals of the business and clearly identify tradeoffs and define accountability.
Here is a unique perspective from two of Deloitte’s supply chain planning experts, including:
-How integrated planning allows supply chain to respond to change in a cost-effective and timely manner
-Which specific supply chain business processes can benefit from an integrated, real-time approach
-Steps to strengthening the connection between the business and supply networks

Cost Reduction Strategies:Focus and TechniquesThomas Tanel
This is a highly concentrated presentation that addresses the differences among price, cost, and TCO; what cost reduction strategies to focus on; and an overview of various techniques, as well as when and where to use them. Faced with excruciating competitive pressures, many senior C-Level executives require maximum effort from every part of their organization to survive. Today, purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, and supply management professionals must be the most progressive cost reduction oriented group in the company.
For many organizations, senior C-Level executives set forth annual purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, and supply management goals that mandate cost reductions. Regardless of the cost savings, avoidances, or containments achieved previously, you are faced with new cost reduction initiatives and objectives.
To make the goal of cost reduction a reality, we cannot focus solely on the price. We must examine the total cost of ownership to your organization, which means moving beyond the organizational environs to include suppliers, internal customers, other allied business functional entities, and external customers. By working both internally and externally with these stakeholders, cost reduction opportunities will become visible.
A typical purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, or supply management professional will help reduce supplier prices and avoid incremental costs. A good purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, or supply management professional will reduce costs by lowering both costs of acquisition and risks of supply. A great purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, or supply management professional will reduce total costs across the board, increase service levels to the internal customer, make a significant contribution to the bottom line, seek value-added opportunities, and help to delight the organization’s customer. This type of professional also balances supply related costs and cycle time for the lowest overall cost, at the best value, while seeking risk optimization rather than risk minimization strategies.

Leading Indicators: What's so KEY about your KPIsDan French
Watch this fascinating webinar and explore the challenges of KPIs as lagging indicators and how, by switching mainly to leading indicators, you can genuinely transform focus and performance.
KPIs in shared services are the most commonly broken instrument in use by management in today’s business environment. In a desire to drive increased efficiency and better outcomes for customers, and with the mantra ‘what you can’t measure you can’t manage’ ringing in our ears, management are collecting data that relates to performance but typically does not DRIVE performance.
We are seeing KPIs that are:
- detrimental to the overall success of the business and;
- encouraging the ‘gaming’ of KPIs for achievement of personal or departmental objectives
The core issues is that lagging indicators, today’s typical KPI set, measure only outputs. We need LEADING indicators to measure and drive the insight and decision making that produces improved performance. We will also be looking at the role of leading indicators, including the Key Exception Indicators and examples of best practices. We will share the Top KPIs in use today, challenge them and share a more balanced approach for driving winning behaviour.
In particular we are examining:
- Leading and lagging Indicators across shared services processes
- The challenge of traditional lagging KPIs
- The most common KPIs for shared services
- How to use indicators to drive behaviour
- How to engage the customer
- Developing an AID-Board
Quantifying Initiative Value & Prioritizing New Concepts SeminarRobert Brown
Our Advanced Decision Framework reveals why decision-making in business is so difficult and what you can do about it. It focuses on the aspects of human behavior and typical business analysis approaches that render decision-making prone to errors in judgment, unnecessary rework, cost, and lost opportunity. The Advanced Decision Framework provides a guided process by which leaders work collaboratively to overcome those barriers to success.
