FedSupport Webinar Series: Practical Systems Skills – Decision Making in Federal Systems

Effective federal decisions are made possible by several dynamics working together: clear authority, sound evidence, alignment with the agency’s mission, and strong working relationships. Understanding how these pieces fit together is what makes it possible to move a decision forward. This interactive webinar led by Rob Shriver examines the mechanics of how federal decisions get made, introducing frameworks such as the empowerment scale to clarify decision rights and structured questions to anchor decisions in mission, evidence, and risk.
