Early on Mr. Mooz recognized that the key skill in resolving both personal and business issues is decision making. Yet decision making is seldom taught and when it is, it is usually presented from too narrow a point of view that is inadequate for the normal range of decisions. While co-teaching Systems Management with one of the worlds leading experts in Decision Analysis, Mr. Mooz came to the realization that the broader scope of Thinking Clearly About Decisions was not being addressed. After many years of research and development Mr. Mooz conceived three proprietary models: a Decision Type Model that characterizes what is at stake with any decision; a Decision Solution Model that frames the most suitable alternatives to choose from; and a Decision Judgment Model that provides ten bases for deciding, some of which may be defensible and others that even though they are popular are not defensible.
Mr. Mooz now directs his creative energy to teaching others to become decision fit which can improve both individual and team performance at work and at home.
