03 / Decision Desk

Another meeting?
Make this one matter.

Give an open issue somewhere to go. Lay out the options, separate evidence from assumptions and leave with a brief people can act on.

THE DECISION DEPARTMENT
ON THE TABLE

“We should probably
talk about it.”

Another meeting about the meeting.
A / One routeB / Another
LEAVE WITHA decision.
An owner. A next step.

Let’s give the conversation a point.

Start with a little momentum

A familiar situation.
A fictional starting point.

Three examples to take apart and make your own. Loading one replaces the current draft.

Your working desk

Give the conversation
somewhere to land.

Guided structure check

Start with what needs deciding. Gaps are useful: the desk turns them into prompts for the meeting. It checks structure, not whether your evidence is true or your proposal is right.

First, what needs deciding?

Keep it general. No confidential records or personal contact details are needed.

Give the alternatives a fair hearing.
Give the next move an owner.

Your wording stays in this tab. Nothing is sent or saved by the site. Review and download a copy before closing it.

Your decision brief

Draft for discussion

One decision. A clearer conversation.

Less “let’s circle back”.
More “here’s the next step”.

Your options, evidence, assumptions and open questions will come together here.

  1. Frame the choice.
  2. See what is missing.
  3. Take a brief worth reading.

A better close

Who decides?
What happens next?

A complete form is the start of a conversation. Confirm the decision, the person responsible and the agreed date with the people involved.

Decision Desk organises your wording and flags missing sections. It does not verify sources, choose the best option, book a meeting or approve a project.
