Decisions are everywhere in transformation, in retail and in life. And making good decisions is key to drive success in your transformation. Yet, decision making is a topic that you never really learn. And there is little indication if you are good at it, either. So in this episode, Oliver Banks looks at the anatomy of decision making to help you understand what’s going on and where you can improve.

Listen to this episode to understand:

  • Examples of the different types of decision that you may need to make.
  • What the decision making process is
  • Why it’s important to still focus after actually making the decision.
