Decision Case

The first step involved in a decision making process is to understand the importance of making the decision. You would have to make a list of some important factors like -

Time required to make the decision

Result of making a good and a bad decision

People who would help you

Who will face the consequences of the decision?

Affect of the decision on you and the people around you

What will happen if the decision is not made?

Step 2: Every decision is made to achieve some kind of goal or objective. So, the next step would involve charting down the goals that you want your decision to achieve. At this stage, it is also necessary to make a note of the consequences that are not desirable once the decision is made.

Step 3: For a person to make a decision, he or she has to be confronted with two or more options. If there is no option, making a decision would be impossible. So, the third step requires you to make a draft stating the options that are available to you. One can also create some options that do not exist in reality. Doing this may help you find some solution to your problem and make the decision process a little easier. Once you have listed the available options, you have to examine each option and make a section for options that sound to be very promising and those that seem not so relevant. However, you have to be careful not to take out any option from your list before it is analyzed in detail.
