Helen, in my opinion, in the PMI / project management context, operational decision making refers to decisions concerning the ongoing, day‑to‑day operations of an organization. Decisions that support the execution and maintenance of business processes, normal operational work, or sustaining the outputs after a project has delivered them.

Operational decision making refers to routine, day-to-day decisions made during project execution that support immediate progress and execution. These decisions typically involve allocating tasks, resolving minor issues or blockers, approving minor changes or adjustments, and keeping work moving within defined constraints.

@ geometry dash scratch: Operational decision making, according to the Project Management Institute (PMI), refers to the process of making choices that affect the day-to-day operations of an organization or project. This involves evaluating and selecting options based on available data, resources, and objectives to ensure effective execution of tasks and activities. The focus is on short-term planning and immediate actions that align with the overall strategic goals of the organization.
