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.
  • D is for Decide: Here is when you can solicit feedback from others and have them vote on the best course of action. Keep this private by using tools like email. You could also use anonymous polls.
  • E is for Explain: The final step is to explain the decision via a committee meeting.
