Value-based Decision Making: 
Generate the Highest Returns for your Business

Making decisions about which projects to execute, and when, can be extremely complex. Most organizations are faced with requests to do more than they are able to afford, or can successfully staff. Copperleaf's Value-Based Decision Making approach can help you identify the optimal combination of investments and timing that respect all constraints, and deliver the greatest value to your organization.

Decision Making Maturity

How does your organization make decisions today, and where do you want to be?

Optoneering

  • Multiple alternatives can be modeled for each investment
  • Automatically select alternatives to maximize portfolio value-based decision making

Strategic valuation

  • Value Framework aligned to the strategic organizational goals
  • Net value including both hard and soft benefits, and costs
  • Calibrated to a common economically-based scale

Time-based decisions

  • Value based on risks or benefits that change over time
  • Dynamically reassess investment value when timing changes

Scoring

  • More systematic process is used to assess investments
  • Uses fixed scores based on more objective evidence
  • One alternative considered

Expert opinion

  • Investments assessed on financials and qualitative criteria
  • Approval relies on discretion or persuasion

Organizations that manage critical infrastructure face unique challenges that make effective decision making absolutely crucial. Copperleaf uses a five-step decision making maturity 'ladder' to help companies assess how they make decisions today and highlight the benefits of moving beyond expert opinion, to more quantitative, systematic and transparent decision-making methods. The goal is to help companies progress up the ladder to the top, where the highest-value decisions can become a reality.
