PS: This presentation is only for two hours of training. In case you plan a longer session, add some activities or games.

While there is some excellent material included in this presentation, I have one quibble. There are too many words on many of the slides. The problem with this is that trainees are just reading the slides, not learning.

Slide 8 - 6 C's of Decision Making

It would be much better only to list the single C words and then initiate a discussion with the trainees to determine what the words mean in the context of decision-making. This could even be a small group activity. That is the way people learn, and it is more interactive and far less boring.

So often on CiteHR, we have people asking for PowerPoint presentations like this. I suspect in most cases, the person who wants it has little or no experience as a Trainer and just stands in front of a class and reads the words off the slide. There is no context, no background, no explanations as to what things mean, and more importantly, how it helps the organization. That is not training. It is basically useless, as the trainee learns nothing. He/she can sit at their desk and just read the slides. They don't need someone else to read it to them.

Training Specific to the Organization

Almost every organization needs to train people in decision-making; that's a given. However, decision-making in my organization is different from decision-making in yours. As I have said many times, training has to be specific to the organization. It needs context and to work within the organization's goals and modus operandi. What works for Reliance Communications, for example, isn't going to work for a small factory making widgets in Guwahati.

Igniting the Spark for Trainers

Sometimes you just need a spark to ignite the fire. My purpose in posting this PPT was the same. My intention while sharing this PPT was to facilitate individuals who had limited information about the subject and wanted some material for further research and development. I appreciate your criticism. You are looking at it from the trainer's point of view, and in that perspective, you are right. Of course, not everyone is a trainer, and not "everybody" shall use it. However, I am looking at it from the viewpoint of facilitating those who are in the process of becoming a trainer. I believe that every master was once a beginner.

It is true that "What works for Reliance Communications, for example, isn't going to work for a small factory making widgets in Guwahati," but there is always something that the small factory can learn from Reliance Communications and make it better than what it was yesterday.
