First of all, you only need a few ingredients, a maximum of five people. They should have diversified taste for a better complementarity of abilities. A good combination of ingredients will lead to a better result than individual choices. One or two of them should be spicy, give them the role of devil’s advocate in order to counter harmful team consensus. In a mixing bowl cream together equal speaking-times and anonymous opinion collection. Then, add a tablespoon of safe space to speak up, so that everybody feels comfortable to express their ideas and to avoid missing important information. After that, fold in a collective responsibility for the outcome, so that everybody is included in the group’s decision making process. To finish, add a pinch of confidence in the person who has expertise in a specific area and top the whole thing with clear communication between all the members.

Last but not least, our special tip: don’t over-rely on experts but make the group do their research to develop their own opinion. And that 's it. Bon appétit!

    This is a deliciously written piece of knowledge!

    Unsurprisingly, all of the components outlined above find their reflections and truly shine when applied in real-world management. That is, I am referring to a Project Management toolkit that assists in determining the most appropriate sort of organized operational unit in a corporation for a certain objective. Assume you run a non-funded student-oriented event agency, and you are obligated to produce a consistent succession of low-scale and large-scale events to your primary audience. In this instance, it would be preferable to adopt the Scrum or Agile Project Management methods, which construct small-scale work groups for simultaneous progress on many projects. The entire process of organizing such groups is discussed in detail above.

    Furthermore, some of the largest consulting firms (e.g., BCG) begin their exhaustive investigation by altering business procedures, which addresses the majority of obstacles that companies may encounter, allowing them to reach the most daring goals.

    To be able to deal with all types of teams and firms and make the best judgments, it is necessary to examine the entire spectrum of business process organization.

    What a fairly complete recipe !

    Genuinely, all steps become relevant as we move forward in the text , further there’s not doubt that’s a quite original idea. The mixture of all the ingredients without leaving behind any step, perfectly resembles in the field of making decisions. In the decision making scope is important to do not miss any step, and this perfectly resembles a cooking recipe, considering that, to make a properly recipe we shouldn’t miss any ingredient to have a desired result.

    In one hand we must highlight that is important to leave a collective opinion instead of anonymous , because this can help us to have an objective and appropriate decision making.

    In the other hand we think that could be useful to add assertiveness, leadership and ability to deal with different situations. Although taking into account the final idea is totally true that not always an expert can deal with an absolutely truth , that’s why we must consider each different opinion and do our own deep research.
