Decision Workshops
Helping you develop, rehearse and refine your plans –
and understanding how others will react to them.
People always rehearse plays.
People sometimes
rehearse presentations…
… and we know that as people
practise, they improve.
But how often do people rehearse
how others will react to their plans?
Decision Workshops gives you a way to do this…
… by using structured role play…
… because role play is the best way to forecast the
way other people will react.
Ability to forecast the correct outcome from a range of feasible options.
Detailed explanation
What we do
We help you understand the scenarios by structuring in important key decisions…
… and then role play the
dilemmas these decisions will
cause to all the parties involved.
Our method covers all the different ways people deal
with dilemmas… Ways to “deal with” dilemmas

…without assuming there is only one way to a solution…
… remembering that sometimes the right solution
needs more than just a successful negotiation.
Peace for our time: After what he thought was successful negotiations with Hitler,
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returns with an agreement he hoped
would avoid war. But he had trusted Hitler more than he should have, showing that
not all problems can be solved by negotiation alone.
Benefits
Our method gives a language in which experts can express
subtle differences in views…
… and keeps the role play focused on the important
decisions to be made.
It also clearly brings out the dilemmas that all parties will
have, so they role play realistically.
The workshops help you formulate, rehearse and refine your plans in a realistic, safe, and secure environment.

Testimonials (1)
“The technology is simple but the underlying
psychology, appealing to the individual’s
natural will to win, mirroring real business
behaviours, is truly and very powerfully
innovative.”
Air Vice Marshal Steve Nicholl (Ret’d): Director Military
Requirements, BAE Systems
“Having participated- I found Mike’s Libyan Decision Workshop engaging and enlightening. Mike’s underlying science of human behaviour forecasts possible outcomes to some very serious situations; I believe that the value both commercially and politically is boundless. I would recommend to anyone that playing out a situation in advance will indubitably safeguard events from unwanted/unnecessary surprise as was proved in the Libyan workshop.”
Simon Harrison: Operations manager Fairfax IS PLC (ex British Army)
