One of the biggest things that slows teams down is making decisions. They talk in circles and don’t get anywhere. At the end of a meeting, some people think a decision was made, but others don’t. Decision-making takes a lot of brain power, and if we are not deliberate, they can drag us down and slow collaboration and innovation. In this keynote, Dr. Amy Climer draws on decades of research in group psychology and organizational behavior to reveal what actually separates teams that make good decisions from teams that just have good intentions. Attendees will learn the Climer-Tarallo Buy-In Formula, a practical model for building decisions people genuinely commit to. Plus, get a first look at a new facilitation tool designed to put that formula into practice in real meetings.

Learning Outcomes: 

• Identify the hidden dynamics that quietly undermine group decisions, even when a meeting feels productive.
• Apply the Climer-Tarallo Buy-In Formula to evaluate whether a decision is likely to get real commitment or just polite agreement. 
• Recognize practical tools and facilitation approaches that help teams reach decisions people actually own.
