Situational Decisions Making - Become Dynamic

Organizations that sustainably win know how to respond effectively to the dynamic nature of their situation.

The concept of situational decision-making is best described in the context of football. Football, just like business, is a team sport. The product is multiple times more valuable than the individual contributor. In football, the quarterback relays what play the coach has called in the huddle to his teammates. The play is a blueprint or diagram of the actions and responsibilities of every player on the field. The more skilled quarterback calls an audible or changes the play at the line of scrimmage when he identifies that the defense is positioned to disrupt the play. Each then amends their assignment accordingly. Additionally, once the play has begun, the quarterback and his teammates have the added flexibility and accountability to make real-time adjustments based on their opponent’s actions.

Success is predicated on every player on the offense receiving and communicating intelligence and having the authority to make decisions relevant to his role at the point of accountability.

In a corporate context, the Board, C-Suite, and managers require the ability to receive the timely inside-out and outside-in intelligence to call an audible whenever conditions need. Likewise, their teammates – their colleagues up-and-down the organizational chart – must be empowered with similar capability and authority – at the point of accountability so they, in turn, equally can make timely adjustments.
