Types of "downloaders"

Decision downloaders can be classified into three groups: robust, restricted, and remedial.

Robust downloaders discuss:

  1. how the decision was made
  2. why it was made
  3. what alternatives were considered
  4. how it fits in with the organizational mission
  5. how it impacts the organization
  6. how it impacts employees.
