The Collaborative Decision Document
A comprehensive structure for high-stakes decisions that senior leadership teams deliberate
Executive teams rarely lose decisions in the meeting. They lose them in the six weeks afterwards, when nobody can reconstruct what was actually agreed or why. The Collaborative Decision Document captures the pre-work, the discussion, the dissent, and the final call in one shared record that survives the calendar.
What you get
- A fourteen-section working record, from the pre-read (decision question, stakeholders, constraints, options, data, criteria) through the meeting notes, the final call, and sign-off
- Built-in bias checks and a structured place for dissent, so people who disagreed can still commit
- An explicit trade-off sentence, decision rights, safeguards, and the review trigger, the things most minutes leave out
- Complete it in your browser, return on the same device to continue, then save it as a PDF to circulate

Want to talk it through with your own team in mind?
A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether coaching, a team engagement, a workshop or an off-site is the right next move. If you would rather work it out on your own first, the decision tool takes three minutes.
