Päätöksentekijälleesimerkiksi

Päätöksentekijälleesimerkiksi is a coinage in Finnish that describes a communication approach aimed at tailoring information for the decision-maker. The term signals a focus on presenting analyses, options and consequences in a way that is directly relevant to the person responsible for choices. It is not a standard dictionary entry but a concept used in organizational communication and decision-making studies.

In practice, the idea behind the term is to prioritize content that directly affects decision outcomes. Materials labeled as targeting a decision-maker emphasize practical implications, clear metrics, and actionable recommendations. Key elements are relevance to objectives, brevity, transparency of assumptions, and the ability to compare alternatives quickly. Complex models are translated into tangible numbers and visuals that support swift judgments rather than exhaustive methodological detail.

Common contexts include business reports, strategy briefings, project proposals, and policy documents. The content is structured to highlight the decision at hand, the main options, estimated impacts (costs, benefits, risks), and a recommended course of action. Visual aids such as concise tables, charts, and scenario outlines are often employed to aid rapid interpretation.

Example: a company weighs two investment options. For the decision-maker, a concise briefing presents the upfront costs, expected cash flows, net present value, key risks, and a clear recommendation, such as preferring option B due to higher expected value and manageable risk. The term underscores the importance of audience-tailored communication in effective decision support.
