The document discusses real options theory and how it can be applied in decision making. Real options theory treats investment opportunities as options on real assets rather than commitments, allowing decisions to be deferred until more information is available. This provides flexibility compared to traditional upfront decision making. The document advocates treating each problem and potential solution as having an option value and expiration date, and delaying commitment as long as possible to allow for new options to emerge. Real options theory provides a framework for making effective decisions under uncertainty.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

but, how???
21. Traditional decision-making
Assumes and expects all knowledge and
smartness upfront
Upfront decisions => Comfort, but no
options :(
Single decision-point => Stuck with it!
Prefer being wrong (“Bad Decision”) than
being uncertain (“No Decision”) !
23. Theory
The notion of real options was developed from Myers’ (1977)
seminal idea that one can view firms’ discretionary investment
opportunities as a call option on real assets, in much the same
way as a financial call option provides decision rights on financial
assets.
By way of analogy, a real option has as its underlying asset the
gross project value of expected operating cash flows; its exercise
price is the investment required to obtain this underlying asset;
and the time to maturity is the period of time during which the
decision maker can defer the investment before the investment
opportunity expires.
Formally stated, real options are investments in real assets, as
opposed to financial assets, which confer the firm the right, but
not the obligation, to undertake certain actions in the future.
REAL OPTIONS THEORY - Jefrey Reuer & Tony Wong
24. What is a Real Option?
An alternative or a choice
‘Real’ because it pertains to real
assets
Defer commitments till the last
responsible moment
Not procrastination!!!
25. Real Options Meme
Options have
Value
Options
Expire
Never commit early unless
you know why
http://commitment-thebook.com/pages/about-us
26. Agile, Lean and Real Options
Agile = Change
Lean = Efficiency
Real Options = Effectiveness
27. Using Real Options
For each problem, look at all the options
Each option has some conditions, cost and expiry
Put all options on a timeline
Identify how long you can hold off a decision
Until that time, keep looking for new options
Decisions are made when options expire
Once you need to act…act quickly!
