Decision Profile Mapping
Every decision your organisation makes is shaped by who is in the room—and how they think. But most companies don’t actually know how their people make decisions.
Decision Profile Mapping gives you visibility into the decision-making strengths across your organisation, so you can:
-
Identify hidden talent – Spot people with strengths in risk, evidence, outcomes, and more—regardless of role or title.
-
Get the right people in the room – Build decision-making groups with the right mix of thinking styles for each challenge.
-
Unlock better collaboration – Understand how teams naturally work together—and where they might get stuck.
-
Make smarter decisions, faster – Eliminate blind spots, reduce friction, and get to action with greater confidence.
It's not just about profiling—it's about putting your people to work in the moments that matter most.
Quick Navigation
1. What is a Decision Power Profile?
Every person in your organisation approaches decisions a little differently. Some are focused on outcomes, others on process, evidence, people, options, or risk. Our Decision Power Profile places each person into one of seven archetypes, based on their dominant styles.
It gives you clear, easy-to-understand insights into how people think, decide, and work with others.
To learn more about Decision Power Profiles check out our home page.
Also here are a couple of blogs you can read about the science behind the profiles.
2. Why Decision Mapping Matters
When the same styles dominate, your organisation can miss key perspectives.
Mapping your team’s decision profiles shows you:
-
Where your strengths are
-
Where you may be over-relying on one approach
-
How to bring in the right mix of thinking/people for better results
This isn’t about personality—it’s about improving how your organisation decides.
3. Step-by-Step: How to Map Decision Profiles
Once your organisation’s profiles begin to roll in, it’s time to put that insight to work by building out teams and panels. This is where decision mapping shifts from insight to action.
Step 1: Add Your People
Everything starts here.
To map your organisation’s decision-making landscape, you first need to invite your people to complete their Decision Power Profile—a short assessment that uncovers how they approach decisions.
How to do it:
-
From your Wizer Menu on the left click "People.”
-
You can upload a CSV, send invites via email
​

Each person will receive and email and be prompted to complete their profile (takes under 10 minutes).
After completing your Decision Profile, your team will see which of the seven decision-making archetypes best reflects their individual approach. This includes insights into how you typically assess information, collaborate, and act on decisions.

Step 2: View Profiles & Dashboard Insights
As profiles come in, your Wizer dashboard will begin to populate with live data.
Individuals will be able to view their individual profiles and understand their decision making strengths and weaknesses, how they collaborate and decide
​
​Organisations will be able to see:
​
-
See how many people fall into each of the 7 Decision Power Profiles
-
View individual profiles to understand how people think, collaborate, and decide
-
Begin identifying trends, gaps, or clustering across your teams
This is your organisation’s decision DNA in motion.
Step 3: Build Groups and Set Up Panels
Now that your data is live, it’s time to start creating teams and panels around the real decisions you’re making. These can be department-based, cross-functional, or purpose-built for a specific challenge.
​
Why it matters: Creating panels allows you to see how well-balanced a group is—whether you have too much overlap, missing cognitive styles, or an opportunity to improve group performance by adjusting who’s in the room.
​
How to do it:
-
Go to your Dashboard
-
Click “Create Group” (a team) or “Create Panel” (a project)
-
Select the individuals you want to include (search by name)
-
Give the group a name (e.g. "Product Strategy," "Executive Team")
​
You can create as many teams or panels as needed—departments, projects, initiatives, or anything in between.
​
What you’ll learn:
-
The cognitive and decision-style breakdown of each group
-
Gaps in diversity of thought, like missing risk or outcome-oriented voices
-
Where you’re over-indexed (e.g. too many Visionaries, not enough Deliverers)
Panels are dynamic—once created, you can run live decisions, monitor engagement, and adjust as your team evolves.
4. What You’ll Learn From Aggregated Data
The more people who complete their Decision Power Profile, the richer your insight becomes.
From your Company Profile, you can:
​
-
See decision profiles by team
-
Understand the cognitive diversity across your organisation—risk, process, people, outcomes, and more
-
Spot where specific styles are underrepresented or overrepresented
-
Use the Inclusivity View to assess internal vs. external participation across roles and functions​
These insights offer a high-level map of how your organisation thinks—and where it might need balance.

Activate Your Profiles to Unlock Talent
Decision Profile Mapping isn’t the end. It’s the launchpad.
Once you’ve gathered profiles and mapped your teams, you can start using them in real-time. When you create panels for live decisions inside the Wizer platform, the system will immediately:
-
Show the panel’s decision strength—how balanced it is across styles
-
Flag missing voices—suggesting archetypes or individuals that could round out the group
-
Recommend people to invite—based on their thinking style and relevance to the decision
This is where Decision Power Profiles become more than just insight—they become tools you use every day to make smarter, faster, and more inclusive decisions.
You’ll also be able to:
-
Identify hidden talent—individuals who bring unique strengths that may be underutilised
-
Understand who thrives in different types of decisions—creative, analytical, high-risk, people-led
-
Create repeatable, intelligent decision processes—so every important decision benefits from the right minds in the room
