Decision making

Decision making is the way you choose something from different options. Each decision making process is a final choice, a decision making process can be an action or an option.

Decision making is not only choosing the right thing or option, it is the decision to choose the thing that have highest probability of success and effectiveness , and which fits with our goals, desires, values, lifestyle and ethics. (See also more about negotiation skills)

Decision making is the process of decreasing uncertainty and doubts about the rest of the things to choose only one option or to make only one action of all. If there are no uncertainty, there are no choices, uncertainty of an option or an action is a must in decision making, if you do not have uncertainty, you are talking about an algorithm, which are some steps taken to get out a fixed result.

Steps to decision making:-

1)Measure the problem, you have to know precisely what is your problem to know how to solve it, measuring your problem let you see the first steps for solving it, unless you have a complete understanding for your problem, it is meaningless to proceed, if your measurement for your problem is incorrect, then your decision will be wrong.

2)Gather information about the decision you want to take, gathering data and facts is very important to make a decision.

3)make your assumptions:- Make some assumptions for the decision you are taking, ask your self, what can I think of?, is my assumptions valid, if not, why not?, also search for alternatives for your assumption, you should have as many assumption as possible.

4)Develop solutions:- Make as many solutions as possible, illuminate un-suitable solutions till you get the most suitable solution.

5)Select a solution:- Select a solution from what you developed, try to select the best solution after illuminating the unpleasant ones and the un-suitable until you reach to the one solution.

6)Select alternatives:-choose an alternative for the solution you just reached, because if one didn’t work you can work with the other one, example: choosing a car with a certain budget, you can choose another car with similar performance taking in mind the budget, this way if you didn't find the first car you can choose the other one.

Act on the decision:-put a plan on place to take the decision, allocate your resources to implement, see if your decision accepted by people close to you, ask them for their opinion.
