Content alone doesn't change behavior. The course builds the skill, DECIDERindex™ measures where your team stands and re-measures the shift, and the action plan turns it into daily reps in the real work — each piece reinforcing the next, until what your leaders learn becomes how they lead.

Action plan4-day streak
State who owns the decision before the team starts debating it.
90 days, in the real work
Hours of learning, not weeks of meetings — the change happens in the 90 days after.
What your team walks away with
One decision-making method your leaders run the same way every time.
Faster calls that don't trade away quality.
Clear ownership for who decides what, and when.
Who it's for
Does any of this sound familiar?
Decisions get re-litigated for weeks.
No one is sure who owns the call.
The team is fast and wrong, or slow and right.
Good decisions still get made for bad reasons.
You can’t tell if your decisions are getting better.
The same debates resurface every planning cycle.
If you're nodding, this skill is for you.

DECIDER Critical Thinking™
The model.
It turns deciding into a repeatable method, so teams raise both the quality and the speed of the calls they make.
Developed by Dr. Timothy R. Clark.
The agenda
What you'll cover.
01
DECIDERindex™ baseline (prework)
Each participant completes the DECIDERindex™ before the cohort begins, generating a personal baseline of their decision-making patterns.
02
Foundations: how we actually decide
Bounded rationality, System 1 and System 2 thinking, and the heuristics and biases that quietly distort everyday calls.
03
The DECIDER™ model, step by step
Work through all seven steps — define, establish, choose, identify, decide, execute, review — with an activity at each one.
04
Apply DECIDER™ to a live decision
Run the seven steps on a real decision you're currently facing and produce a DECIDER™ Report you can take to stakeholders.
05
Action plan and next steps
Turn your DECIDERindex™ results into a personal action plan and a path to scale the method across your team.
Every cohort takes DECIDERindex™ as a baseline and again after — self and external — so you can see the behavior change by dimension, not just course completions.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask.
How is this different from a generic decision-making workshop we could build in-house?
It's a system, not an event. Participants learn the proprietary DECIDER™ framework, get measured on the DECIDERindex™, and apply the seven steps to a real decision — so what you scale is a shared method and a behavior change, not a one-off slide deck.
We already have an LMS and a content library — why add this?
A content library teaches concepts; this changes behavior. The course pairs the DECIDERindex™ assessment with a cohort that applies the model to live work, so you're measuring capability change rather than counting course completions.
How do we know it will stick?
Every participant takes the DECIDERindex™ before and after, and applies the method to a decision they're actually facing during the course. Re-measuring the DECIDERindex™ later shows the behavior change against each person's own baseline — the measurement is the proof.
Can we run it ourselves, and is there a facilitator certification?
Yes. There's a certification path that prepares your internal facilitators to deliver the DECIDER™ method, so you can run cohorts on your own cadence once your team is certified.
How does it scale, and how does it fit our admin and systems?
It runs live-virtual, on-demand, or in-person, and it's delivered on leaderfactor.app — so administration, enrollment, the DECIDERindex™, and org-level reporting all live in one place as you roll it out across teams.
