Abstract
This chapter includes a selection of organizational management, decision-making, and business process frameworks. It delves into the people, teams, and structures designed to manage the flow of information, resources, and decisions. Organizations are formal or informal groups of individuals, teams, or other organizations. Organizational structure contains the institutional wisdom, traditions, and also inertia to change. Decision-making tools are the thought processes, priorities, and trade-offs that managers need to think through when making a decision. As much as an energy strategist needs to understand the details of energy and carbon, they must also know how to work as a team. In today’s fast-changing and ambiguous scenarios, strategists will need to guide with certainty into an uncertain future.
