Circulate the decisions. When people complain, refer back to the decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be willing to review the decisions on an ongoing basis.\n<ul>\n<li>Why: Because Microsoft makes changes weekly. Your people and your organization&#8217;s needs change too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a decision needs to be changed, make a plan that include things such as setting a date, announcing the change, explaining the <em>&#8220;What, So What,  Now What&#8221;<\/em>, and following up.\n<ul>\n<li>This will require messengers and fact checkers and helpers. People are busy. Help them help you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> <strong>Recommendations &#8211; <\/strong> The Decision Makers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Have the correct group of people at the table making those decisions.\n<ul>\n<li>Include people from Communications, HR and  UI\/UX who understand how people speak, feel, and think.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t get stuck in analysis paralysis or circle debates. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose someone in the organization who is going to have the final say\/ hold the VETO card.\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid having that person being a narcissist or a right fighter. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We&#8217;re looking for someone that can empathize with others yet also understands they can&#8217;t make everyone happy because there are some responsibilities that must be followed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Side rant: IT shouldn&#8217;t drive the business.
