An Insight into Decision-Making …

 

 
  • Are you living in a world of sub-optimal decision-making?
  • Do you really believe you are making
    optimum decisions?
  • How will you know if you made the best decision?
  • Can you defend your “gut-feel” decisions?

 

 

 

True no one knowingly makes a “bad” decision. Even a person with no training in decision-making believes that he/she made the best possible decision. But we often hear phrases such as, “we made a good decision”, “it was a bad decision”, etc. Note that the terms “good” and “bad” are attached to the past tense. This is because we have to wait for the outcome before we can pronounce success or failure. At the time we make a decision, there is no way of saying if we made a good decision!

The quality of your decision will depend on the following:

 

 
  • Data & Information (problem domain)
  • Context Information
  • Creative options
  • Solution technique used, and
  • Expertise of the decision-maker

 

 

 

And the outcome will depend on the following:

 

 
  • Appropriate Timing
  • Adequate Resource
  • Commitment to Execution, and
    Changing Circumstances/Environment
