Inconsistent, unclear processes can lead to slow, low quality decisions - and underwhelming business outcomes. A 2019 study revealed that 80% of executives report deficiencies with their organization's decision-making process.

A guide to building effective team behaviours

competitors and develop step-change innovations.
The collective intelligence of the team is underpinned by discipline – and three types of habit.
