"You can pay more, but
you can't buy better training."
All of us have
made bad decisions at some point in our personal or professional
lives. These decisions may not have been monumental and may have had
little or no impact on any aspect of your life. On the other hand, in
the case of a bad decision, what would have been the impact of a
critical decision that created an impact throughout your life,
department or organization?
There is a way to
avoid this potential problem. You should implement an effective decision
making process instead of relying on feeling or intuition. This module
discusses and recommends the Effective Decision Model™
to improve your decision processes.
On any given day,
you make a number of large and small decisions that affect your life,
department, team or organization. When decision making is addressed as a
management skill, the reaction is that only highly technical and
intricate decisions require a structured approach. However, the use of
the Effective Decision Model™
can benefit you and help you to improve the quality of
all
your decisions.
We do not suggest
that every minor decision requires a strenuous and documented process.
When you use the Effective
Decision Model™
you make the judgment as to how detailed the decision process must be.
We realize that some decisions can take minutes, days, or months
depending on the complexity of the issue. Depending on the scope of the
decision, it may not be necessary to use every step in the process. You
can select the steps that will lead to an effective decision and use
only those steps.
The desired result
is clarity about the decision that must be made. To achieve this result
you must consider the relevant information and get the needed support of
your team or organization to make the decision work.
The Effective
Decision Model™ features 5 steps and the required actions to help you
achieve each step. By using this model, you will achieve the overall
result of a systematic process for making a choice and a balance between
the benefits and the risks.
