| Criterion |  Decision Making Pre-Mortem |  Facilitation Consensus Workshop |  Product Strategy OKRs |
|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | In early initiatives with many uncertainties, planning quickly turns too optimistic. A pre-mortem makes the expected failure visible in advance and sharpens the view of causes, gaps, and countermeasures. | When a group needs a solid decision without outvoting individual factions, a Consensus Workshop creates a negotiable common ground. It makes agreement, reservations, and open tensions discussable at the same time. | When strategic direction needs to become measurable, it connects ambition with checkable results. It makes goals connectable to focus and review. |
