Score Importance Current performance
1 Not important: No meaningful impact on performance or outcomes. Not happening: No evidence this exists or is considered.
2 Low importance: Minor or indirect contribution to results. Ad hoc: Happens occasionally, informally, or only in pockets of the business.
3 Moderate importance: Contributes to performance but not a key driver. Inconsistent: Some awareness or activity, but not clearly defined, repeatable, or reliable.
4 Important: Clear link to performance, efficiency, or risk management. Defined: Approach exists and is applied in a structured way, though not always rigorously.
5 Highly important: Major driver of performance, prioritisation, and value delivery. Embedded: Consistently applied across teams with good quality and clear ownership.
6 Critical: Fundamental to strategy execution and competitive advantage. Optimised: Fully systematic, continuously improved, and demonstrably driving better outcomes.

  1. Decision Focus

    We have identified the critical decisions that will have the greatest impact on business performance over the next 12 months.

  2. Ownership and Authority

    Ownership of key decisions is clearly assigned to named roles or individuals with authority to act.

  3. Timing and Pace

    We take key decisions early enough for them to shape outcomes rather than respond to events.

  4. Insight and Judgement

    Decision makers receive timely, relevant insight and apply confident judgement where information is incomplete.

  5. Follow Through

    Once decisions are taken, they translate quickly into action through clear accountability and execution ownership.

  6. Learning and Confidence

    We review decision quality and outcomes to improve future judgement and decision confidence.
