We spend too much time analysing decisions with little impact, and too little on the big, difficult ones.

-
Leads to
- Wasted time and team frustration. Lost opportunities develop creative alternatives and get key information for the important decisions.
Possible Causes
- Poor framing, unclear priorities and inadequate involvement by management. It seems easier to work on routine decisions than more critical one-off decisions.
Potential Solution
- Decision maker works with analysis team to identify key decisions, both routine and one-off. Sets priorities, timelines, and resources, with regular updates.
