It details how to look at the impact of the choices they are faced with and propose contingency plans. Before coming to conclusions, it reminds them to revisit the ultimate goals and values of the organization and to make certain that customer and stakeholder positions are considered. And finally, it shows how to systematically evaluate decisions on their value to the organization ensuring that employees focus on providing value or striving for a return of investment in their considerations.
