Decision making is fundamental
Decision making is fundamental to individual, team, and organisational performance. We believe that EVERYONE can make better decisions. Through over 25 years of experience at Thompson Dunn, we know that speedy and effective decisions are made spontaneously, and are then often supported by an analysis of the relevant facts. Our conclusion is that understanding the role of INTUITION and gut feeling can help you make better decisions.
“Do you know when a decision just feels right? Do you know what makes up a good decision?” — www.decisionprofile.com
The Decision Profile measures three elements - Risk, Luck and Decisiveness. An individual’s, group’s or whole organisation’s attitude to these three elements define the overall Decision Profile.
In addition, the role of intuition is also assessed. How we use our intuition and apply it is central to our creativity and performance, both in life and in work. There is NO other psychometric instrument available today that allows a unique and thorough assessment of this critical decision making concept.
The instrument consists of 104 statements, takes 25 minutes to complete and delivers immediate results. Within seconds a comprehensive, personalised report is constructed and delivered.
There are 8 Decision Profiles, each determined by a certain combination of the three elements; Risk, Luck and Decisiveness. No two reports are alike, and each individual receives results that are personal and unique to them.
Risk
The Risk Element explores an individual's preference for various aspects of Risk when making decisions. It looks at the extent to which a person will make decisions and take actions that may lead to danger or loss with the objective of maximising gain.
Luck
The Luck Element examines the extent to which an individual believes in Luck, is optimistic or pessimistic about outcomes and also whether they will want to control the outcome of their choices. It looks at whether a person depends on skill or chance opportunities when making decisions. Crucially, it is this Element that explores the extent to which an individual reports themselves as an intuitive or whether they prefer to make their choices by consciously processing available facts.
Decisiveness
The Decisiveness Element provides a deep examination of an individuals speed of decision making, confidence in the choices they make, and the flexibility they will show when reviewing their decisions. It also examines how independent a person might be in their decision making and whether they will seek the opinions of others before reaching conclusions.
