This is How Your DSS Process Works -
Step by Step to the Solution
Formulating the
opening question
The starting point of every DSS is the common guiding question: “What do we need to do together to…?”
Guided
workshop process
A moderated sequence of reflection, idea generation, topic selection, and decision-making rounds. Knowledge is used systematically.
Specification and results documentation
Results are visualized, prioritized, and condensed into key actions. RMS logs and transfers the data for further processing with a dashboard (MS Planner).
Group Sizes & Formats
DSS allows you to adjust the group size for your question.
The number of participants in a DSS (Dynamic Solution Structuring) is determined by the topic and the client's preference for involving more or fewer employees, managers, and experts (internal and external) in the process. The number of participants often emerges “automatically” during the collaborative process of defining the opening question.
Common group sizes range from 20 to 50 participants, but DSSs with up to 160 participants have also been conducted.
DSSs are typically held over two days; in some cases, three days have been used due to the complexity of the issue. DSSs are ideally suited to be complemented with additional creative methods. The RMS team, led by Markus Ruiz, will be happy to advise you and ensure the smooth execution of your DSS.

The RMS Competence Cluster allows us to integrate external expertise into the workshop and the implementation of the results. New topics can be introduced into the discussion. Our experts help to delve deeper into specific topics.
Is it possible to schedule a check-in every 6 to 12 months to ensure implementation?
RMS provides you with a dashboard (MS Planner-based) along with your DSS log, allowing you to track implementation progress at any time. Designed as a management overview, it can be viewed and used by any authorized team member.
This enables our customers to manage the workload of parallel tasks and identify areas where action is needed early on.
New challenges and questions can lead to a new DSS at any time, and DSS can also support departmental implementations or improved collaboration between departments.
