Why are decisions important? Decisions are choices that everyone is required to make on a daily basis. The key aspects identified in this writing are a brief overview of the decision-making model, advantages of group decision-making, and some important aspects of critical thinking.
The logical decision making model consists of various steps, which aid in deriving a reasonable low risk solution. The first step in the decision making model is to evaluate the problem. This involves determining why the problem occurred, the severity of the problem, and whether the problem will require immediate attention. A thoroughly researched problem will aid in solution development throughout this process.
The next step is to develop possible solutions. Once the problem has been confirmed, resolutions need to be developed that can alleviate the problem. The group environment lends to developing an adequate list of alternative solutions, which will be described later.
The third step is choosing the most reasonable solution. It is the point at which all alternative solutions are weighed and chosen based on what is most practical and feasible for a particular organization.
The fourth step is implementation. This is the step that the chosen solution is implemented. In other words, the solution as defined by the stakeholders will be put into action.
Once it is implemented, the final step, evaluation of solution, can be completed. An evaluation is performed to verify the solution is working as designed. However, in order to verify a successful implementation, the evaluation will need to encompass guidelines or other measurements to verify the decision ...
