Introduction to Choosing by Advantages (CBA) @ MSU
If you have ever struggled to make decisions that are focused on the value proposition of the project (design/construction) alternatives being considered, then Choosing by Advantages may help! Choosing by Advantages (CBA) allows for visual and transparent decision making. It also aligns with the desired values and culture of Lean Thinking and allows teams to emphasize a decision’s value to its stakeholders. CBA is a decision-making system that acknowledges all decisions are essentially subjective – but then guides the participants towards basing the subjectivity on objectively discovered and documented facts. With CBA, decision makers can reach common ground, focus on outcomes, and appreciate all of the factors considered during the decision-making process. The process also creates transparency to the decision making process simplifying later reviewing and revisiting. This 2-2.5 hr session will provide the participant a brief introduction to the CBA decision making system, focusing on the second cornerstone principle - the fundamental rule of sound decision-making. It also presents The Simplified Two-List Method and the Tabular Method.
