The next 10 years have been described as the
“Decisive Decade”.
What we choose to do, or not do, in the next few years
will have global consequences for centuries or millennia to come.

Sustainability, environmental and social responsibilities are essentially ‘business drivers’ like cost, risk and performance. They can be incorporated into a Value Framework, with scales of significance, and they can be included in cost/benefit evaluations and justifications. But, like risk, they are ‘fuzzy’ when compared to hard cash or performance metrics. The potential long-term impacts are inherently uncertain, both in degree and in significance. They are also extremely difficult to measure, even indirectly with presumed ‘predictive indicators’. Success or failure will not be evident until it is too late. 

These issues make it imperative that our decision-making skills are given a boost. The most profound global effects are likely to come from groundswell adjustments in the many small decisions that are being made daily by everyone. But…

…it is hard to make the practical connections between ‘big issue’ agendas (such as climate change, energy transition, sustainability and social responsibility) and our day-to-day actions, priorities and habits. This applies both in the workplace and in our personal lives. Deciding what, and how much, to sacrifice in the short term, for the benefit of the long term – and perhaps a multi-generational long term – is very difficult. 

So, how do we keep multiple interests happy,
with resource and time constraints, while…

...managing typical human tendencies when it comes to making
Difficult Decisions?

  • Do nothing (avoid decision)
  • Do what was done last time (avoid thinking)
  • Push the decision up the line
  • Push the decision down the line
  • Go for cheapest cash cost (ignore future)
  • Listen to ‘who shouts loudest’
  • Follow “group think” / lowest common denominator
  • Subjective vs objective criteria

 

What are the best practices to overcome these?
