Decision Profile Mapping
See how your people actually make decisions – and where the gaps are.
Decision Profile Mapping shows the real mix of Decision Profiles across your team or organisation. You see strengths, blind spots, and who’s missing from key decisions – so you can build better panels on purpose.

What is Decision Mapping?
Most tools tell you how people behave at work. Decision Profile Mapping shows how they actually make decisions when the stakes are real.
Every person completes a short Decision Profile. Wizer then maps your organisation’s “decision DNA” – the mix of seven Decision Power Profiles – so you can see:
-
Where decision strengths cluster
-
Where you have gaps or blind spots
-
Which voices are routinely missing from key decisions
The Hidden Crisis in Your Decision Making
You're Making Decisions Blind
-
Every day, your organization makes critical choices—but you have no visibility into the thinking styles that shape those decisions.
-
Teams are built on availability, not cognitive fit
-
Your best decision-makers might be in the wrong meetings
The Symptoms You're Already Seeing
-
These patterns are costing your organization every day:
-
Innovation stalls because the same thinking styles dominate every room
-
No real process for building decision teams—it's based on politics or availability
The Real Cost
-
Research reveals the hidden price of cognitive blindness:
-
40% reduction in team performance due to cognitive homogeneity
-
High decision error rates from missing critical perspective
The 7 Decision Power Profiles
Decision Profiles uncover how you think, collaborate, and approach decisions—helping you and your team understand strengths, blind spots, and complementary styles.
Analyzer – Data-driven, precise, and focused on accuracy.
Collaborator – Draws on the strengths of others to co-create better outcomes.

Board Decision Mapping
Most board reviews focus on structure, composition, and compliance.
Board Decision Mapping focuses on something different:
how decisions are actually framed, challenged, and resolved at board level.
Using decision-role analysis and cognitive diversity research, we map how a board’s collective thinking shows up in practice — particularly under pressure.
This approach helps boards:
-
see which decision roles dominate discussions,
-
identify which roles are structurally absent or overridden,
-
understand why certain risks fail to escalate or interrupt momentum,
-
and strengthen decision quality without relying on individual courage.
-
Board Decision Mapping does not assess performance or intent.
It examines decision architecture — the conditions under which board decisions are made.
This work is often used alongside governance reviews, board evaluations, and regulatory remediation to surface risks those processes miss.

How Decision Mapping Works
Why Decision Profiles Add a New Layer to Mapping
Research-Backed Impact
Dr. Juliet Bourke's groundbreaking research on cognitive diversity reveals the dramatic impact of balanced decision teams:
-
30% reduction in decision errors when teams leverage diverse thinking styles
-
20% increase in innovation from cognitively balanced groups
-
Significant reduction in team friction when politics is replaced with data-driven team composition
What Organizations Discover
When organisations map their decision DNA, they typically find:
-
Concentration at the top – senior leaders clustered in 1–2 profiles, often Achiever or Deliverer
-
Untapped diversity in the middle – richer spread of styles in junior and mid-level roles who are rarely in the room
-
Gaps for specific decisions – e.g. strategy panels with no Guardians, change projects with no Explorers or Collaborators
-
Hidden talent – people who think differently and are perfectly suited to certain decisions but were never asked
-
Organizations consistently discover that 40-60% of their decision contributors were never being invited to the right conversations.
Decision Profile Mapping turns this into a living asset: a way to design each decision panel with the right mix of thinking.
