The SPADE toolkit
Use the SPADE framework, developed by Gokul Rajaram, when you face difficulty in decision making:
- S is for Setting: Define the “what,” calendar a timeframe, and clarify the “why.”
- P is for People: Identify the people who should consult (give input), approve, and a single person responsible for the task.
- A is for Alternative: As the decision-maker, it’s your responsibility to find feasible and diverse alternatives. Gather critical stakeholders and brainstorm possible alternatives.

- E is for Explain: The final step is to explain the decision via a committee meeting.
