Changing the Way Americans Engage in Politics

Our Mission

Through our Decision Point Method we can show Americans how politics can, in fact, lead to serious decisions and compromises.

Yea, we know, a lot of people think we are crazy.

But try it. Watch one of our videos, and ask yourself, “What would I do?”

Because we believe that forming serious opinions comes from putting yourself in the decision maker’s seat.

The DECISION POINT Method

The DECISION POINT Method walks Americans through routine decision-making processes for elected officials on some of the most controversial topics in our society. By having a better understanding of how decisions are made, we hope to decrease political hostilities across the country and bridge ideological divisions.

Choose a "Blow-up" Topic

We all know there are certain topics you don’t bring up at get togethers. Those select hot button issues that will blow up the conversation and lead to heated, divisive conversations. Our DECISON POINT Method begins by choosing one of those blow-up topics.

Pick a position of authority

Ranging from city, state, and federal positions of authority, you will then choose which perspective you want to use to address the topic. How would you react to COVID-19 as a Mayor? What about Governor?

Your Decision Point

You’ve selected your blow-up topic and position of authority, now choose a decision that needs to be made. With the decision you choose, you may have some bad news. A wrench in the process that makes the difficult seem impossible. Taking that one step further, the bad news could also have potential consequences.

What’s Your Solution?

Based on your blow-up topic, position of authority, scenario and bad news, now tell us how YOU would solve the problem. What solutions would you create, and which steps would you take to make sure its successful?

The DECISION POINT Effect

The DECISION POINT Method has had clear and undeniable benefits for those who participate in the process. Based in extensive research, the Center for Science of Moral Understanding at the University of North Carolina had this to say:

“For both Democrat and Republican participants, the Decision Point video series made political opponents appear more rational and built greater respect across ideological divide compared to watching them talk about the issues in campaign ads or reading about their personal history.”

What Would You Do?

As the Chair of the President Elect’s Team, you find a 5-year-old video of Joe Page, the top choice for a senior level position, criticizing a policy almost identical to one of the President-Elect’s signature policies.
