You should take a look at what existing executive coaches, business coaches, business consultants, and management training programs do. There are some of these that actually apply the methods of decision analysis to their clients' problems, or teach their clients how to do so. Here are some that I have encountered:

  • Hubbard Decision Research. Training, consulting, and tools for difficult measurement, forecasting and investment decisions facing organizations, using Applied Information Economics (basically, decision analysis with an emphasis on expected value of information and applying statistical methods to indirectly measure things that are not obviously measurable.)

  • HeadScratchers. Critical thinking workshops and coaching for problem solving, decision making and creativity.

  • Baker Street Publishing. They sell various publications for decision coaches, management consultants, and strategic planners.

  • Solysis. Consulting for organizations, decision coaching for executives.

  • Executive Decision Making (Professional Development course from Cornell)

  • Online organizational decision making course from Van Thinking

  • Strategic Decision Making, upcoming 5-day workshop from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
