Six Step Decision Making Process
|
Decision making is an art in itself and can often pose to be a tough job. The process of decision making however, can be made less cumbersome by following the six steps which involves certain cognitive procedures such as thinking, evaluation, memory, perception etc. |
- Identify the problem:Defining the problem and the objectives of the decisions that you are about to take and then proceed towards the next pedestal is the first step.
- Develop alternatives:Gather and develop the myriad alternatives to the problem, taking into account the plausible and even the impossible options.
- Evaluate alternatives:Evaluating each of the alternatives in details is necessary. An in-depth analysis of the pros and cons of every single alternative is necessary as through this you can exclude the options that you may deem unimportant.
- Making the decision:After a thorough assessment of all the available options, you are now in a position to make a choice, often assimilating more than one alternative together to arrive at better decisions.
- Understand the decision:You as well as the others involved in the process get enlightened about the ramifications of the decision making.
- Audit & Tracking:Auditing and keeping track of the outcome and its progress is extremely essential on a regular basis, as it will tell you whether your six steps of the process has yielded any success.
The six steps decision making process proves quite helpful in solving problems in organizations and in any type of decision making. However, in situations which need immediate response, this may act as a barrier to taking decisions quickly and may delay the process.
