Law 31 — Control the Options: ផ្តល់ជម្រើស A/B/C ជាមួយ Cost–Time–Risk–Code

Law 31 — Control the Options (ផ្តល់ជម្រើស A/B/C ជាមួយ Cost–Time–Risk–Code)_ from Team Leadership with The 48 Laws of Power

Frame the decision so stakeholders choose among clear, comparable options—each with Cost · Time · Risk · Code. Communication & Influence Decision Design (A/B/C) Evidence & Timing Master Post
Core Idea: ជំនួសឱ្យឲ្យប្រជុំពិភាក្សាទៅមិនចប់—អ្នកដឹកនាំគួរតែ រចនាជម្រើស ឲ្យច្បាស់ A/B/C ជាមួយ Cost–Time–Risk–Code និង ស្នើជម្រើសដែលបានផ្ដល់អនុសាសន៍។ វាជាចំណុចស្នូលនៃ Cluster “Communication & Influence” និងត្រូវបានបញ្ជាក់នៅក្នុង Decision Template (A/B/C) របស់ទំព័រអ្នក។

1) Option Architecture (រចនាប័ទ្មជម្រើស)

Columns That Matter

  • Cost: capex/opex, change-order, lifecycle (if relevant)
  • Time: lead time, install duration, schedule impact/float
  • Risk: safety, quality/defect, supply, rework, approvals
  • Code: standards/clause, inspection readiness, sign-off path

Design Rules

  • 3 options max (A/B/C) + one recommended pick
  • 1-page limit; images/tests on top; numbers consistent
  • Decision window stated clearly (e.g., 48h)
  • Include Go/Kill criteria to prevent backtracking

2) Example Option Patterns

Material/Method

  • A: Keep baseline — low change cost, slower, low risk
  • B: Prefab part — moderate cost, −1wk schedule, needs early PO
  • C: Alternate supplier — cheaper, but higher QC/lead-time risk

Sequence/Schedule

  • A: Single shift — safe, but slips handover by 3 days
  • B: Split shift — +OT cost, recovers 2 days
  • C: Parallel trades — fastest, risk: clash/inspection slots

Commercial

  • A: Standard PO — normal cash cycle
  • B: Early payment discount — cost ↓ 2–3%, cash need ↑ this week
  • C: Volume lock — price ↓, but commitment risk if scope changes

3) Playbook សម្រាប់ស្ថានការណ៍

Case A — Change Order

  • One-pager with A/B/C + photos/tests
  • Show cost deltas, delay avoided, code clause
  • Ask for approval window; MoM same day

Case B — Inspection Strategy

  • Slot map vs. readiness; risk of fail/rework
  • Include sign-off path & responsible inspector
  • Pick option with best pass-first probability

Case C — Procurement Expedite

  • Compare vendors on lead time/quality track record
  • State payment terms & logistics risk
  • Recommend B and place PO within window

4) Do / Don’t (សង្ខេប)

✅ Do

  • Limit to 3 options; make them meaningfully different
  • Lead with visuals; numbers in a neat table
  • Declare decision window and approver up front
  • Log Go/Kill criteria; lock a 7–10 day execution window

❌ Don’t

  • Present open-ended “what do you want?” threads
  • Mix contradictory numbers across files
  • Hide code clauses; omit inspection plan
  • Invite re-litigating after decision—route changes formally

5) Weekly Cadence

  • Decision Calendar: list topics, A/B/C ready, decision windows
  • Conversion Metric: % meetings with 1-page A/B/C (target ≥ 90%)
  • Post-Decision Audit: re-check numbers vs. outcome after 1–2 weeks

6) One-Page Templates (Copy/Paste)
