Decision Quality. Value Creation from Better Business Decisions

Add value with every decision using a simple yet powerful framework Few things are as valuable in business, and in life, as the ability to make good decisions. Can you imagine how much more rewarding your life and your business would be if every decision you made were the best it could be? Decision Quality empowers you to make the best possible choice and get more of what you truly want from every decision.

He and his co-authors, all experienced consultants and educators in this field, show you how to frame a problem or opportunity, create a set of attractive alternatives, identify relevant uncertain information, clarify the values that are important in the decision, apply tools of analysis, and develop buy-in among stakeholders. Their straightforward approach is elegantly simple, yet practical and powerful. It can be applied to all types of decisions. Our business and our personal lives are marked by a stream of decisions. Some are small. Some are large. Some are life-altering or strategic. How well we make those decisions truly matters. This book gives you a framework and thinking tools that will help you to improve the odds of getting more of what you value from every choice. You will learn: The six requirements for decision quality, and how to apply them The difference between a good decision and a good outcome Why a decision can only be as good as the best of the available alternatives Methods for making both«significant» and strategic decisions The mental traps that undermine decision quality and how to avoid them How to deal with uncertainty—a factor in every important choice How to judge the quality of a decision at the time you're making it How organizations have benefited from building quality into their decisions.

Jennifer Meyer (born ca. 1977) is an American jewelry designer who first rose to prominence when her signature piece, an 18-karat gold charm in the shape of a leaf, was worn by Jennifer Aniston in the 2006 film "The Break-Up".

Early life

Meyer is the daughter of Ron Meyer, President and CEO of Universal Studios, and his first wife, Ellen. Her stepfather, from her mother's re-marriage, is Rabbi David Baron (head of the Temple Shalom for the Arts), [ [http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117478637.html?categoryid=2&cs=1 Banderas ponders 'Zorro' sequel - Entertainment News, Army Archerd, Media - Variety ] ] and her stepmother, from her father's re-marriage, is Kelly Chapman. She got her start in jewelry making alongside her grandmother, Edith Meyer, who taught her the basics of making enamel jewelry when she was just six years old. [http://www.jennifermeyerjewelry.com/images/press1_1_5.pdf Jennifer Meyer Sparkles] , published July 12, 2006; retrieved May 1, 2007.]

As a young adult, Meyer studied Psychology at Syracuse University, then went to work for several fashion houses in the public relations departments, first for Giorgio Armani and later for Ralph Lauren. She also worked for "Glamour Magazine" as an editor.

Meyer returned to her jewelry making roots in 2004 when, frustrated by a search for a leaf charm for a necklace, she decided to make her own. After taking several jewelry making classes and consulting with other jewelers, Meyer designed her trademark leaf-shaped 18-karat gold charm, which to her represents "turn [ing] over a new leaf". [http://www.jennifermeyerjewelry.com/images/press1_1_1.pdf Sunshine Girl] , published Fall 2006; retrieved May 1, 2007.] Though Meyer has extensive Hollywood connections--her father is Universal Studios President Ron Meyer; her husband is actor Tobey Maguire--her jewelry made its national debut when a stylist picked out one of Meyer's leaf pendants for Jennifer Aniston to wear in "The Break-Up". The exposure led to Meyer founding her own company, Jennifer Meyer Jewelry, and her line of rings, charms, pendants, and necklaces is distributed through such luxury stores as Barneys New York, Roseark in Los Angeles, California, and Maxfield in Beverly Hills, California.

Meyer's celebrity customers include Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Mara Wilson, Julia Roberts, Mischa Barton, Lara Flynn Boyle, Ali Larter, Rachel Blanchard, Gabrielle Anwar, Bonnie Hunt, Katie Holmes, Ashley Olsen, Jennifer Garner, Jennie Garth, and Demi Moore, [http://www.jennifermeyerjewelry.com/images/press1_1_5.pdf Jennifer Meyer Sparkles] , published July 12, 2006; retrieved May 1, 2007.] and she was named "2007 Jeweler of the Year" in the "Us Magazine" "Hot Hollywood Style" issue."The Hot Hollywood Style Special", publication date May 7, 2007.] Her heart-shaped locket adorns the neck of Kirsten Dunst's character Mary Jane Watson as a gift from her boyfriend Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) in "Spider-Man 3".

Meyer has begun adding rubies to her jewelry collection in honor of her daughter, Ruby Sweetheart Maguire, born November 10, 2006.

Personal life

Meyer married her long-time boyfriend, actor Tobey Maguire, on September 4, 2007, in Kona, Hawaii [ [http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20054654,00.html Tobey Maguire Marries Jennifer Meyer in Hawaii - Tobey Maguire : People.com ] ] . The couple first met in 2003 while Maguire was shooting the movie "Seabiscuit" at Universal Studios and became engaged in April 2006. They have a daughter named Ruby Sweetheart Maguire (born November 10, 2006). [http://people.aol.com/people/article/0,26334,1214767,00.html Tobey Maguire, Jennifer Meyer Have A Girl] , "People Magazine", published November 11, 2006; retrieved May 1, 2007] Ruby's middle name comes from a childhood nickname of Meyer's given to her by her grandmother, who died a few months before Ruby's birth.

Meyer is Jewish and occasionally wears a Kabbalah bracelet placed on her "as a protection" by a friend of hers. [http://www.jennifermeyerjewelry.com/images/press1_1_5.pdf Jennifer Meyer Sparkles] , published July 12, 2006; retrieved May 1, 2007.]

Meyer and Maguire are both Los Angeles Lakers fans and can frequently be seen courtside at Lakers home games.
