SPADE framework

The SPADE decision-making framework is designed to streamline collaboration and accelerate the process of making tough choices.

Define the Decision to make and identify the People involved

What: Clearly articulate the decision to be made.
Where: Specify the context, such as which teams or projects are involved.
Why: Explain the significance of the decision, outlining its impact on the organization.

Generate Alternatives

Don't forget, that alternatives have to be:

Feasible: Develop realistic options that can be implemented.
Diverse: Ensure alternatives represent a range of approaches and are not just minor variations.
Comprehensive: Cover all aspects of the problem space.

Make the Decision

Present all alternatives, pros and cons, and quantitative insights to the consultants.

Anyone can vote with the Vote button for the Alternative they like.

Note, that in this case Votes are hidden to keep everything anonymous. But you can make that public by unhiding Vote database and showing Created by field. If you need any help with that, please, contact us.

Explain the Decision

Articulate the rationale for the chosen alternative and its anticipated impact. Document your thoughts immediately in to capture insights clearly. Use Final Solution field for that.

Distribute this summary to the organization to promote transparency and encourage future decision-making.
