Decision Making
Decision Making may be defined as the choice between alternatives with the purpose of achieving objectives.
However, because our data will always be incomplete and our ability to analyse the data imperfect, risks will exist that the alternative chosen will not achieve the expected objectives or result in unplanned outcomes. Hence the elements of decision making will be the establishment of clear and measurable objectives, the analysis of data with respect to the objectives, and the evaluation of risks associated with possible alternatives.
Processes for developing and choosing solutions will be important for management where situations are complex, and where it is important to achieve concensus on decisions made.
Walker Associates can help with Innovation, Decision Making and Concensus Building.
