Decision Making

Decisiveness is a characteristic of performing people. To move forward, a choice must be made out of all the available alternatives. Decision making is a process, and even in situations when we must act fast, there are several steps involved. What makes a good decision it is contextual, as one must consider their values, the resources available and consequences of their final choice.

“Decisions are the frequent fabric of our daily design.”  

— Don Yaeger

There are several decision-making models to opt from, each having its pros and cons, the most appropriate being the one that fits one’s personal cognitive style and experience. Regardless the model, there are 4 elements to consider: facts, values, means, ends.

Maximise the quality of your decisions by capitalizing on your thinking style while avoiding cognitive biases that could led to expensive errors.
