Leadership Decisions and Development
Solutions
Achieving Performance Advantage through an Optimized Workforce
Increasingly complex competitive landscapes, the rise of “big data,” constrained resources,
and real-time opinions make business and workforce decision making difficult. Booz Allen
Hamilton’s Workforce Optimization capability mobilizes our deep expertise across disciplines
to help clients prepare for, make, and implement vital decisions that drive sustainable results.
Booz Allen Can Help Improve “Return on Decisions”
Booz Allen Hamilton, a leading strategy and technology consulting firm, empowers our clients
to be more effective in turning decision-making challenges into a competitive performance
advantage, thus maximizing their return on decisions (ROD).
Traditional measurement tools such as return on investment (ROI) often focus on shorterterm financial outcomes. Our approach to ROD supplements these financial measures with
an emphasis on the operational and strategic implications that achieve longer term impact.
In other words, ROD reflects
multiple types of outcomes, and
assesses how well decisions
support—or undermine—the
organization’s goals and mission.
We work with leaders to define
their unique ROD by linking
expectations to desired performance, including business/
mission, operations, branding,
risk management, and compliance. Our professionals blend
proven techniques and capabilities in decision support, and apply them to help the client bridge
gaps between decision inputs (data, information, and constructs) and desired outcome—thus
meeting or exceeding ROD.
Linking Data, People, and Outcomes through a Blended Decision
Approach
Booz Allen’s Leadership Decisions and Development Solutions offer a tailored, multi-dimensional approach to decision making—linking client data, people, and outcomes.
Data – We sort, prioritize, and
analyze the right data based
on targeted results. We build
custom visuals—from dashboards to system models—and
pinpoint gaps, trends, and
significant decision points to
maximize our client’s ROD.
People – We assess the human
dynamics affecting decisions,
and craft approaches to get the
right people and perspectives
together. We determine what styles of communication and exploration best fit your team,
thereby integrating diverse perspectives and developing people through the process.
Blended Approach – With an understanding of the data, the people, and the nature of the
decision at hand, we select the best mix of approaches; including simulations to test “what
if?” in a safe environment. Our unique range of simulation capabilities provides many options
for helping leaders and teams work through difficult decisions in an engaging, fast-paced,
and realistic environment.
Outcomes – After decisions are made, we offer a range of ways to support implementation to
maximize ROD in practice. We evaluate ROD by following through on initial expectations and
operational results.
