What is Policy?
Decision makers, who are used to depending on their past experiences, must make decisions and take actions in the rapidly changing world we face today. In this turbulent environment, the ability to successfully view the current situation through the traditional "good judgment" viewpoint is weakened through increasing external noise (a multitude of information sources on multiple topics) and changing paradigms of how we think about social, cultural, organizational and economic issues, creating internal noise within our prevailing mental models. These noises skew our perception of what is really happening in the world. In addition to facing this constant flux, leaders are being asked to choose the path to the future as well as to explain exactly how they plan to get there. Before putting a stake in the sand, leaders begin by developing and testing hypotheses about possible scenarios, and then eliminate numerous courses of action until a small set of viable choices remain. Once the decision to act is made, the communication of the new initiatives begins. The results of these initiatives usually produce some expected behavior, but almost always, much to our surprise, our actions produce unexpected behavior as well, that once again changes our situation. And so it goes…

10. The Decision Making Process Map
The following map briefly describes each phase of the decision making process and the difficulties
that decision makers have in that phase. Please read through the storyline and then click on the
"Changing World" to start.
Decision makers, who are used to depending on
their past experiences, must make decisions and
take actions in the rapidly changing world we face
today. In this turbulent environment, the ability to
successfully view the current situation through the
traditional "good judgment" viewpoint is weakened
through increasing external noise (a multitude of
information sources on multiple topics) and
changing paradigms of how we think about social,
cultural, organizational and economic issues,
creating internal noise within our prevailing mental
models. These noises skew our perception of what
is really happening in the world. In addition to
facing this constant flux, leaders are being asked to
choose the path to the future as well as to explain
exactly how they plan to get there. Before putting a
stake in the sand, leaders begin by developing and
testing hypotheses about possible scenarios, and
then eliminate numerous courses of action until a
small set of viable choices remain. Once the
decision to act is made, the communication of the
new initiatives begins. The results of these
initiatives usually produce some expected behavior,
but almost always, much to our surprise, our
actions produce unexpected behavior as well, that
once again changes our situation. And so it goes…

and evaluated effectively so that the target

13. Hence, a policy should have the
following characteristics:
• Strategic; able to contribute to the
achievement of long-term goals.
long-
• The objective of the policy must
be clear. Must identify, the
‘change’ that will be established
through the policy.
• Fair to all parties.
• Flexible and innovative
• Strong. The policy could be
implemented from A to Z.

14. 5 Stages (Dunn, 1994; Cochran et al,
1995; Dye, 1998).
1. Problem identification
2. Goal and alternatives identification
3. Selection of policy instruments

5. Evaluation of the policy

15. Liabilities of Group
Decision Making
• Groups often work more slowly than
individuals.
• Groups decisions involve considerable
compromise that may lead to less than
optimal decisions.
• Groups are often dominated by one
individual or a small clique, thereby
negating many of the virtues of group
processes.
• Overreliance on group decision making
can inhibit management’s ability to act

“Education, then beyond all other
devices of human origin, is the great
equalizer of the condition of man - the
balance wheel of the social machinery.”

34. Stage 1: Problem Identification
• The problem becomes the agenda of the
political/organizational institution.
• At this point, the decision-makers will
decision-
decide whether or not actions will be
taken to address the problem.
• Justifications will be made whether or not
the problem is worth to be made into an
agenda.
• Only issue/problem which is worth for
institutional/governmental interventions=
policy agenda
agenda.
35. Stage 2: Goal and Alternatives
Identification
• At this point, the objective of the policy
will be identified (what is to be achieved
out of the policy).
• Once the objective is clear, policy
alternatives be identified and then
selected.
36. Step 3: Establishment of Policy
Instruments
• At this point, establishment of policy
instruments will take place after
agreement is reached upon several
alternatives/possible solutions.
37. Stage 4: Policy
Implementation
• At this point, the implementation of
the policy would involve the transfer
of policy interpretation to policy
instruments.
38. Stage 5: Policy Evaluation
• At this final stage, the policy would
be evaluated to see its effectiveness
as well as its impacts.
39. Normative Decision Making
Model
• Basis: Decision making is not
rational; it is rather intuitive.
• Characteristics of decision making:
Limited Information Use of rules of thumbs
Processing or shortcuts
Satisficing
25-Mar-12 Pembuatan Kebijakan dan Pengambilan Keputusan (AP903) 39
40. ICT for Decision Making
• E-democracy research has so far focused
on early stages of political decision making:
How to include citizens in the process.
• Our focus was to look at how ICT can be
used to evaluate policy decisions (later
stages)
• Also to discuss what impact ICT has on the
political decision making process itself.
25-Mar-12 Pembuatan Kebijakan dan Pengambilan Keputusan (AP903) 40
41. Redefined decision making
model
• ICT provides for faster and even
continuous evaluation of the results
of decisions.
• This opens up for a reformulation of
the model presented earlier:
25-Mar-12 Pembuatan Kebijakan dan Pengambilan Keputusan (AP903) 41
42. Goals and focus points
Information on time for decision making,
then better decisions at national, local
and school level,
then higher effectiveness of
education system,
and better learning achievements
25-Mar-12 Pembuatan Kebijakan dan Pengambilan Keputusan (AP903) 42
43. Assumptions in Rational Decision-
Making Model
• This process assumes that you have or can
obtain adequate information, both in terms of
accuracy, quality, and quantity, about the
situation and the alternative technical
innovations.
innovations
• it assumes that you have knowledge of all of
the alternatives and all of the consequences of
the alternatives.
• it assumes that you can somehow rank-order
rank-
the alternatives or generate satisfactory
decision-
decision-rules or criteria for choice.
25-Mar-12 Pembuatan Kebijakan dan Pengambilan Keputusan (AP903) 43
44. Limitations of the rational decision-
decision-
making model:
• It requires a great deal of time.
• It requires a great deal of information.
• It assumes rational, measurable criteria are
available and agreed upon.
• It assumes accurate, stable, and complete
knowledge of alternatives, preferences, goals,
and consequences.
• It assumes a rational, reasonable, non-political
non-
world.
25-Mar-12 Pembuatan Kebijakan dan Pengambilan Keputusan (AP903) 44
45. Bonus Points in Group Decision
Making
• Groups can accumulate more knowledge and facts.
• Groups have a broader perspective and consider more
alternative solutions.
• Individuals who participate in decisions are more satisfied
with the decision and are more likely to support it.
• Group decision making processes serve an important
amount of knowledge available to groups.
• In identifying alternatives, the individual efforts of group
alternatives,
members encourage a broad search in various functional
areas of the organization.
• In evaluating alternatives, the collective judgement of the
alternatives,
group, with its wider range of viewpoints, seems superior
to that of the individual decision maker.
