This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide Designing for Urgency PowerPoint presentation, emphasizes the critical role of speed in decision-making within the organization. It asserts that for the company to be recognized as a top performer, speed must be integrated into its core functions, operational model, and cultural mindset. The content is structured around a clear transition from a traditional approach to a more agile one.
On the left side, the slide contrasts 2 decision-making paradigms. The "FROM" section indicates the conventional practice of making decisions based on 90% of the available information. This approach is characterized as potentially slow and inefficient. The "TO" section advocates for a shift toward making decisions based on just 70% of the information. This change is framed as essential for enhancing the company's responsiveness and agility.
The right side elaborates on the necessity of not only making high-quality decisions, but also ensuring they are made with high velocity. It highlights that most decisions are typically made with only 70% of the desired information. The slide warns against the pitfalls of waiting for complete information, as this often leads to delays that can hinder performance. The text suggests that if the organization excels in course correction, being wrong may be less detrimental than being slow to act.
The concluding statement underscores the cost of inaction, implying that failing to adapt to this urgency could have significant consequences. This slide serves as a call to action for executives to prioritize speed in their decision-making processes to maintain competitiveness and operational effectiveness.
