DecideX Strategic Decision Making Instrument

Build more effective teams with the Decidex Strategic Decision Making Instrument to help determine how an individual or team member inputs, processes, and acts on information in the work setting.

The DecideX Strategic Decision Making Instrument was designed for work groups to use the assessment results to engineer more effective working teams and recognize the value of each team members unique perspective. It is a 24-question Organizational Engineering Instrument developed from the work of Dr. Gary J. Salton. Organizational Engineering is defined as a branch of knowledge that seeks to understand, measure, predict, and guide the behavior of groups in a way that produces positive organizational outcomes.

What It’s Best Used For

• Strategic Team Engineering: Formulating and structuralizing highly balanced corporate teams by intentionally blending members with complementary information-processing styles.
• Predicting Group Dynamics: Accurately forecasting how an individual, a partnership (dyad), or an entire department will collaborate, solve problems, and execute tasks under pressure.
• Profiling Communication Perspectives: Helping existing employees recognize, respect, and utilize the unique problem-solving perspectives that different colleagues bring to the workspace.
• Mapping Collaboration Styles: Evaluating team member alignment by reviewing the tool’s comprehensive breakdowns of primary and secondary style pairings.
• Bilingual Workforce Alignment: Standardizing professional and team development across operations that support both English and French speakers.

The instrument is a straightforward and easy-to-administer 24-item assessment that examines how an individual or team member inputs, processes, and acts on information in the work setting. The result is a remarkably accurate prediction of how an individual, dyad, or team organizes information, makes decisions, and takes action.

The DecideX provides a complete description of all primary/secondary style pairs, as well as a brief overview of the strategic patterns.
