ABSTRACT

One of the most difficult challenges facing a project manager is being decisive throughout all phases of a project. Often, he must make decisions in the midst of scarce availability of information and time. Often, too, he must make decisions having received input from a myriad of stakeholders (e.g., management, customer, team members). In the end, the way he goes about making decisions will reflect his strategic style, which can be both an asset and a liability. Using OE, however, he can respond effectively and efficiently when making decisions.
