There are two sides to the decision making process: those who contribute to the decision making process (specifically those who input), and whose who make the decision (specifically those who have decision rights).
GD provides the framework that identifies all of the complexities of decision making: which decisions need to be made; who will have input and/or decision rights for each decision; who will be held accountable for each decision and how each decision will be structured, aligned and communicated.
At its core, GD ensures managers use organisational assets in the way executive management want them to be used. Using GD as your risk management system means you are building feedback loops into your processes and systems, so you can learn about what is and isn’t working and hence refine the way you operate in order to avoid problems before they occur.
