Decision-Making in the Workplace
A scenario-based e-learning course on making decisions at work when the information is incomplete and the deadline will not move.
Overview
A scenario-based, self-paced e-learning course on decision-making at work. Learners step into a call that has to be made before all the facts are in, choose whether to commit now, gather more, or push it up the line, and see how that choice plays out — then learn the approach that holds when certainty is not available. Delivered as a SCORM 1.2 package for your LMS, with completion tracking.
Format. Self-paced, scenario-based e-learning. SCORM 1.2 — upload it to your LMS and completion tracks automatically.
Who it is for. Any organisation that wants to run this as self-paced learning; suitable for employees at any level.
