In fast-paced environments, every decision counts. Stress at every level impacts how and what decisions are made—sometimes with catastrophic consequences—especially in emergency situations. You need leaders who can make the best decisions to achieve the best possible outcome every time.
When decision makers must act quickly, often with only partial information, they make better decisions if they are equipped with the tools and training for effective Decision Making Under Stress (DMUS). In addition, leaders need focused training on how to build more stress-resilient teams and organizations.
DMUS provides this training, with tools and techniques to help leaders at every level make effective decisions before, during and after an emergency or in everyday fast-paced environments.
