I'm still battling with intellectual capital. Any idea how to render the last few words here? It comes up again and again.

to make the right decisions / to make good decisions
A more natural way of saying it in English, in my opinion

I would add that Spanish often uses nouns (i.e. toma de decisiones) were English prefers verbs.

for proper decision-making
Creo que el sentido no es si se toman o no 'the correct or good decisions", es de asegurar que el proceso de toma de decisiones sea adecuado (análisis, participación, soporte, etc.).
También podría ser "to ensure proper decision-making".

in order to ensure the quality of decision-making
A bit more long-winded but it seems to need the meaning being made more explicit. The Spanish is rather dense.
