Mastering Decision-Making: The Shift from Urgent Choices to Strategic Green Decisions

Decisioning – Green Decisions

What is a Decision?

During the day we make hundreds of decisions, some consciously and most of them unconsciously. Driving from home to office alone requires 100 plus decisions of controlling steering, raise, brakes.

Thus, the human mind is prepared to make decisions naturally. But here we are talking about business decisions.

What are the business decisions?

Any estimated scope, efforts, cost, price, timelines, conflict handling, person selection, team selection, and product selection qualifies for business decisions.

The purpose of leadership is to design algorithms to make variability of decisions, from rule-based to template-based knowledge book-based. These Business algorithms once designed makes organisation moving towards “Self managed organisation”. The leaders keep removing the mystery of decision-making to algorithms on a month-on-month basis. Algorithmising decision-making creates time for the leader to lead and design the market, products, and systems.

We still need to make decisions for unknown spaces. We need to design and plan our time for maximum impact. In this situation, decisions get connected to forward detailed planning of one’s calendar for the next 90 days in detail and the next 180 days on a week-by-week basis.

Unknown-unknown or first-time problems require skills in Cartographic mapping of problem space, stakeholder mapping, and end objectives. These problems can be solved individually or with a group of peers/experts/advisors.

Decision can also be categorised into two buckets
1 Important planned and designed decisions vs
2 Unplanned and urgent category.

I call the first category of decisions healthy decisions or Green Decisions, while category B qualifies as “diseased decisions” or forced decisions.

Vision, objective and strategic planning play a critical role in more Green decisions.

Courage: The Driving Force Behind Decisive Action in Uncertain Times

What is Courage?

Is courage a Heroism?
Is courage a Risk taking?
Is courage a dealing with uncertainty?
Is courage an emotion or an action?
What is the link between Courage, Conviction and Decisiveness?

Courage to my mind is a force of Action during cloudy future time. It’s a commitment to something partially known or directionally right based either intuition or certain patterns.

Courage requires decisive action and series of decision inspite of early failures. Courage requires not to listening to voice of external skeptics or self doubts during the journey.

Cycle time from Thought, Idea to architecture to decision. This cycle time varies from a few days to a few months to a few years.

Unleashing the Power of Inspiration: Elevating Self-Belief and Expanding Potential

Inspiration: What is inspiration?

Is inspiration a ‘feel good’ emotion or something more?

What is the relation between Inspiration and Motivation?

1. Inspiration is a force transmitted to team members through dialogue and role-modelling behaviour. Once transmitted, this force multiplies many folds in the thinking space through the ‘inspired person’.

2 . The Inspiration force acts on a person’s self-belief system and expands his/her Thinking space, which in turn expands his/her ‘Can do’ Canvas.

Purple Fabric Triad: Setting new standards for unbiased decision-making in financial services

The European Union has set out seven key regulations to ensure responsible Generative AI use in business, focusing on Explainability; Bias Removal; Accountability; Data Privacy; Security; Fairness, and Transparency.

PF Triad, the fourth technology in the Purple Fabric Suite, embodies these principles by eliminating bias in the judgement of three key roles in the enterprise – Sales/Relationship Managers, Operations Managers, and Compliance Managers.

Using advanced AI algorithms and contextual LLMs, PF Triad ensures optimal, unbiased decisions and recommendations.

With built-in reasoning algorithms and real-time data access via self-constructed SQL queries, PF Triad provides comprehensive, up-to-date insights.

PF Triad has been successfully implemented in wealth advisory, complex investigations, and loss runs, particularly in the UK and US markets, setting a new standard for unbiased decision-making in financial services.

Enabling operations managers imagine near autonomous user journeys

Many smart enterprises are using AI to drive near autonomous operations to drive faster TAT and lower operations costs. Intuitive design and embedding expert agents in client user journeys can reduce operation costs by over 60%.

PF Expert Agent technology designed by Intellect Design Arena Ltd’s Applied AI research team synthesises five sets of knowledge to drive actionable intelligence:

A. Knowledge from large sets of documents.
B. Well-crafted operations book (Roles and SOPs).
C. Structured data from data lakes or application systems. 
D. Book of regulations
E. Market knowledge.

The PF Expert Agent enables Operations Managers imagine near autonomous user journeys for their customers, including timely AI nudges and AI Alerts, to Relationship Managers, Compliance Managers and Management, as relevant. It uses contextual LLM models appropriate for business from a basket of OpenAI – GPT-4, GPT-4o, Anthropic – Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Haiku, and other advanced language models.

During a recent bootcamp, it was deeply satisfying to watch 5 teams rapidly build their own working expert agents, within the period of a 3 day Purple Fabric Bootcamp.

As shared earlier, I am extending a special invite to SMEs, Heads of Departments and Product Managers to our exclusive AI Boot Camp on August 29 and 30 in Chennai. You can explore how AI can simplify operations across specified functions and discussions within a financial institution through this Boot Camp.

Harnessing Purple Fabric DIMS for AI-powered Document Intelligence Management

Before the 1990 era of technology, we worked on file systems. Oracle created a new era of Database Management Systems along with competing products like Sybase, Ingres, DB2 etc.This created a category called DBMS. Over the last 30 years, DBMS has been an essential foundational technology for every enterprise.

In the era of AI to Enterprise Connected Intelligence (ECI), 70% of decision-grade knowledge is sitting in documents and websites. I recognise the enormous relevance and potential in converting document knowledge to document intelligence.

PF DIMS: Purple Fabric Document Intelligence Management System helps enterprise create AI-based document intelligence, and consume it as an API, in any downstream or upstream applications.

PF DIMS is a synthesis of 4 high-performance technologies: Document Ingestion Technology;Classification Technology; Extraction Technology; and Trusted Data Technology.

PF DIMS has 150 ready-to-data connectors to consume data from third-party data sources including web crawling for contextual documents. DIMS uses MongoDB for unstructured data and uses ML algorithms along with Gen AI LLM or SLM, to design Decision Grade Data.

At Intellect Design Arena Ltd, we are using PF DIMS to build products like Magic Submissions, APX, eMACH.ai Lending, Wealth, Trade, Underwriting, ESG and specialised use cases for customers.
