The concept does not primarily deal with competence or knowledge, but with <strong>legitimate decision-making power<\/strong>. The question is not \u201dwho can make the decision?\u201d but \u201dwho has the mandate to make the decision?\u201d. Decision-making domains constitute one of the most fundamental, yet often least explicitly defined, components of organizations. They affect speed, accountability, innovation, risk management, conflict levels, and ultimately the organization\u2019s ability to achieve its goals. In practice, decision-making domains can be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\"><strong>Strictly defined<\/strong> (e.g., only the finance manager can approve investments exceeding 1 MSEK).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\"><strong>Shared or overlapping<\/strong> (several roles participate in the same decision).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\"><strong>Indecisive or implicit<\/strong> (the decision is made by whoever happens to be the most senior, loudest, or most available).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">When decision-making domains are clear, the uncertainty about who decides what decreases. At the same time, there is the risk that the organization becomes slow and bureaucratic. When the domains are unclear, greater flexibility and creativity often arise, but also conflicts, duplication of effort, and irresponsibility. A key insight in organizational design is that <strong>Responsibility and decision-making must be linked<\/strong>. It is difficult to hold someone responsible for an outcome if the person did not have the mandate to influence the decision. Similarly, problems often arise when people have the mandate to make decisions but are not held accountable for the consequences. The concept of decision-making domain occurs in several related areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Organizational design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Corporate governance (governance)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Leadership<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Risk management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">System theory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Military leadership<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Agile organizations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">A useful way to understand decision domains is to view the organization as a network of interconnected decisions. Each organizational level exists in practice to handle certain types of decisions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table ext-animate--on\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Level<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Typical decisions<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Board of Directors<\/strong><\/td><td>Strategic direction, risk appetite<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Management<\/strong><\/td><td>Priorities, investments<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Middle management<\/strong><\/td><td>Resource allocation, planning<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Team<\/strong><\/td><td>Operational decisions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Individual<\/strong><\/td><td>Implementation and local elections<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">The problem arises when this structure is not clear. Two extreme situations illustrate this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Extreme 1: Centralization<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">No one is allowed to make decisions outside their domain. Any deviations must be escalated upwards. Results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Slow decisions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Many bottlenecks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Weak adaptability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">A small local initiative<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Extreme 2: Full decision-making anarchy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone considers themselves entitled to make all decisions.

This article focuses specifically on three issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">What happens when decision-making domains are strictly allocated?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">What happens when decision-making domains are unclear or non-existent?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">What happens with responsibility and learning when something goes wrong, especially in unexpected events and so-called \u201dBlack Swans\u201d?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Decision-making domains have existed as long as people have organized themselves, but they were formalized only during industrialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Weber and the bureaucracy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">The sociologist <strong>Max Weber<\/strong> In the early 1900s, he described how modern organizations are built around clear hierarchies and formal responsibilities. The basic idea was simple: Each role should have defined responsibilities, defined authority, and defined reporting channels. This created predictability and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Scientific Management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Frederick Taylor's ideas about division of labor reinforced the view that decisions would be made at higher levels while execution would take place at a lower level. The result was very clear decision-making domains but often low flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Knowledge organizations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">In the late 20th century, the realization grew that employees are often closest to the knowledge. This led to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Delegation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Self-governing teams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Agile working methods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Distributed decision-making<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">The focus shifted from control to ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Strictly defined decision domains<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">When decision-making domains are very clear, everyone knows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">who decides,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">who is consulted,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">who is informed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">The IT department decides on the technical architecture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Law determines the interpretation of agreements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">The economic department decides on budget frameworks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Quick allocation of responsibilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Lower level of conflict<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">High predictability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Unified decisions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disadvantages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Bottleneck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Lower innovation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Risk of silos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Local problems must be escalated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Organizations can be robust but slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Indecipherable decision-making domains<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Here often a phenomenon occurs that can be called:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">\u201dMandate through initiative\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Whoever acts first becomes the decision-maker.

When many people share responsibility, the result is often that no one feels full responsibility. The classic expression is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">\u201dEveryone is responsible for the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">which often means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">\u201dNo one is responsible for the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">What happens when something goes wrong?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Here the decision-making domain becomes particularly important. Suppose a project fails, and then three questions arise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Who made the decision?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Who had the mandate?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Who had the information?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">If these three people are the same individual, the responsibility is often easy to identify, but in many organizations they are different people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">The management makes the decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">The project manager implements it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">The specialist is aware of the risks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">When the project fails, blame games often arise.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">The problem is that the decision-making domains and the information domains did not coincide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Demand for responsibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">A mature organization distinguishes between:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Responsibility for the outcome \u2013 You are responsible for the outcome.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Decision-making responsibility \u2013 You are responsible for the decision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Process responsibility \u2013 You are responsible for how the decision was made.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Many conflicts arise because these three are confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">A decision may be well-founded but still lead to a bad outcome.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">A decision may be bad but may turn out to be a good outcome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Accountability should therefore focus on decision quality rather than solely on results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Black Swans and decision-making domains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">The concept <strong>Black Swan<\/strong>, coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, describes events as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">They are very rare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Has a great impact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Explained afterwards as if they were predictable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">The financial crisis of 2008<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Covid-19 pandemic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Major cyberattacks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Geopolitical shocks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Black Swans challenges the entire idea of decision-making domains. Why? Because no one can reasonably have full knowledge of an event that does not yet exist in the organization\u2019s mental model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The trap of hindsight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">When a Black Swan occurs, there is often a demand to find the culprit. Organizations then begin to reconstruct the history. They identify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">missed signals,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">warnings,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">alternative routes of action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">The result often becomes an illusion: That someone should have understood. But the very definition of a Black Swan means that the event was outside the normal decision-making framework. This creates an important principle: <strong>Not all extreme negative outcomes are the result of bad decisions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Ecosystem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Decision-making domains are strongly influenced by several neighboring areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\"><strong>Governance <\/strong>\u2013 Describes how decision-making is distributed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\"><strong>Risk Management <\/strong>\u2013 Defines which risks are acceptable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">RACI models \u2013 Specify:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Responsible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Accountable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Consulted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Informed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\"><strong>Sociotechnical systems<\/strong> \u2013 Studies how people and technology together shape decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\"><strong>Agile methods <\/strong>\u2013 Emphasizes local autonomy combined with common goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity ext-animate--on\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Practical examples<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 1: Strict domain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">A bank requires that all credit decisions over 10 million kronor be made by a special credit committee.

A well-functioning organization is characterized not by maximal centralization or maximal freedom, but by a carefully considered balance between clarity and autonomy. The most important principle is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>The person held responsible should also have corresponding decision-making authority.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">Strictly defined decision-making domains provide clarity, control, and traceability. They reduce conflicts and facilitate accountability. At the same time, they risk creating bureaucracy, bottlenecks, and slow adaptation. Unclear decision-making domains provide flexibility and initiative but tend over time to generate conflicts, duplication of effort, and the diffusion of responsibility. When something goes wrong, decision-making domains function as the organization\u2019s \u201dforensic map.\u201d They enable understanding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">who made the decision,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">why the decision was made,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">what information was available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">In extreme or unexpected events, especially Black Swans, it becomes even more important to distinguish between:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">bad decisions,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">poor outcomes,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">genuine uncertainty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">An organization that punishes all negative outcomes risks creating fear and inaction. An organization that never holds anyone accountable risks instead a lack of accountability. The mature organization therefore focuses on the quality of the decision-making process rather than solely on the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Clear responsibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Higher decision quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Lower level of conflict<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Better risk management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Easier learning after mistakes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disadvantages, risks and limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Excessive centralization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Bottleneck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Reduced innovation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Warehouse behavior<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">False security in the face of extreme events<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Five readiness questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list ext-animate--on\">\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Is it clear who owns every critical decision in the organization?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Does the decision-making mandate follow the same structure as the accountability requirement?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Are there mechanisms in place to handle decisions that span multiple domains?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Is major decisions documented so that they can be evaluated afterwards?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ext-animate--on\">Can the organization distinguish between bad decisions and bad outcomes in unexpected events?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading ext-animate--on\">Recommendation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\">In knowledge organizations and organizations driven by forces but innovation, the decision-making domain may be defined as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ext-animate--on wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A decision-making domain is not primarily a way to distribute power, but a way to create accountability in the face of uncertainty.
