The Key Element Of Decision Making





All good decision maker, consciously or un consciously, go through four basic step:


  • Clarifying

They select a frame of reference from which they define the decision. This frame of reference determines how they see question, what information will amd will not be relevant and what aspects are more important than others. it also lets them view the decision in diffrent ways.

  • Looking

They look for imformation that helps them both clarify their frame of reference and add information that will useful later. Much of this information gathering involves sharing ideas with other members

  • Evaluting

They systematically evaluate possible decisions in light of the way they framed questions and the information they gathered. Being systematic prevents them wasting time considering information or solutions that are not relevent.

  • Reviewing

While acting upon their decision they systematically review progress. Later , When the outcome of the decision is known, they analyse their decision making process and try and learn from feedback..
