Steps of decision making
Steps for decision makingIdentifying the problem:
2. Gather information:Finding different possibilities and
scenarios of the problem (cause- effect)
3. Identifying alternatives:Searching for optionsSearching for
different possible solutionsList the possible and desirable
solutions
4. Predict short-term and long-term consequences:Weigh each
solution and check if each solution solves the identified problem
in in step 1 or it is a partial and temporal solutionDraw on your
information and emotions to imagine what it would be like if you
carried out each of the alternatives to the end. You must evaluate
whether the need identified in Step 1 would be helped or solved
through the use of each alternative. In going through this
difficult internal process, you begin to favor certain alternatives
which appear to have higher potential for reaching your goal.
Eventually you are able to place the alternatives in priority
order, based upon your own value system5. Making a
decision:Choosing the best solution with the least bad consequences
and most positive consequences taking into consideration short-term
vs long-termAlternative choices maybe chosen6. Taking
action:Implement what was decided.7. Evaluating:Review and evaluate
how did this decision go with the estimated consequences and how
would this decision be better for a similar future problem.Did it
really solve the problem?Was it efficient?Reflect on the
decision-problem scenario
