Decision Involvement Training

Decision Involvement Training teaches a clear and effective collaboration method that gets results from others on time, as expected. D.I. compares and aligns each person's underlying decision-making role and authority level, regardless of what final decision is reached. This innovation leads to commitments that both sides agree to...and act on!

"DI helps me to resolve situations that I know need to be resolved with my staff. It gives me a visual tool with which to have a calm, objective discussion, particularly when they come to me with problems, not solutions. DI ensures that they walk away owning their piece of the responsibility for getting the work done. I use it regularly."
Kelly Hoey, Executive Director, Halton Industry Education Council (HIEC)

Here's why employees also love Decision Involvement training...

"Ever wondered why you feel like you are on a different wavelength than your supervisors? Find out why that might be happening and how you can change it." Training Manager

"Figuring out what piece of the puzzle you are is greatly beneficial and provides clarity around your role and performance." Project Manager

"I loved the theory behind the Decision Involvement Scale. It makes so much sense!" Events Manager

"What I liked best was the no-nonsense approach to why people do what they do when they work together in groups. There's no talk of 'synergy' or 'paradigms' here -- just plain, honest language that cuts to the core of today's workplace." Communications Officer

"John's technique is a nice blend of playing devil's advocate and really hearing the different perspectives being offered." Senior Manager

"John is a great listener who is supportive and challenging." Administrative Assistant

Decision Involvement is a collaboration process that keeps important work from falling off the rails, like these "Big 7":

shirking responsibilities
negativity in the workplace
foot dragging bottlenecks
stalling key projects
meddling where they don't belong
shoddy workmanship
inflexible and dug-in against change

Emmanuel College president Dr. Derrick Mueller was so enamoured by Decision Involvement that he personally implemented it with his staff immediately after learning about it at a Toronto conference. Dr. Mueller says, “It’s just a practical tool that lets my people know exactly where I stand and ensures I know where they stand. Things just progress more smoothly, thanks to Decision Involvement.”
