Decision-making: how to integrate it into a software?

Within a software, monitoring decision-making means, among other things, tracing all the decisions taken on a set of “elements”: technical fact, action, task, change request… during these committees and linking them to the information product or project. Thus, during the meeting, it would be possible to navigate to all the information associated with the item reviewed in the repository. It would then no longer be necessary to come with a pile of files hoping not to have forgotten anything!

By creating the actions automatically in the repository, attached to the meeting, they are traced in the system and it is easy to organize the review of these and to follow the smooth running of the planned actions. Similarly, each element (task, action, change request, etc.) retains the history of the commissions through which it has passed. In one click, we can therefore know that such an element has been qualified, validated or rejected during such a meeting and for what reasons.

What are the benefits of integrating decision-making monitoring?

Ensuring the management and monitoring of decision-making brings many benefits:

• Gain in quality

Traceability of decisions, identification of responsibilities, vision at any time of progress and the environment of change requests, etc.

• Gain in productivity

Capture of decisions directly during the meeting and automatic generation of the report.

• Gain in efficiency

Approval of the minutes during the meeting, which avoids problems of non-acceptance following publication.

• Reporting

Easy implementation of reports listing for a person all the requests concerning him and their progress.

Key benefits

One of the key benefits of reporting and decision-making management solutions is that they provide businesses with real-time insights into their operations. This means that businesses can monitor their performance on an ongoing basis and make adjustments as needed to stay on track.

For example, a retail business might use a reporting and decision-making management solution to track sales in real-time and adjust its pricing strategy based on demand.

Another benefit of these solutions is that they help businesses identify areas for improvement. By analyzing data on various aspects of their operations, businesses can pinpoint inefficiencies, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions to optimize their performance. For instance, a manufacturing company might use a reporting and decision-making management solution to track production efficiency and identify bottlenecks that are slowing down the production process.
