This document discusses decision making, including defining it, different types and styles, and providing a 7-step process for making decisions. It notes that decision making is a daily activity that can be both a habit and process. Effective decision making can save time and resources for an organization. The document also discusses factors like uncertainty, complexity, risk, alternatives, and interpersonal issues that a decision maker should be aware of when making decisions. It provides examples of decision making in an Australian learning context and encourages practicing the decision making process.

9. STEPS OF DECISION MAKING

10. STEPS FOR DECISION MAKING
1. Identifying the problem:
2. Gather information:
 Finding different possibilities and scenarios of the problem (cause- effect)
3. Identifying alternatives:
 Searching for options
 Searching for different possible solutions
 List the possible and desirable solutions

11. 4. Predict short-term and long-term consequences:
 Weigh each solution and check if each solution solves the identified problem in in step 1 or it is a
partial and temporal solution
 Draw on your information and emotions to imagine what it would be like if you carried out each of
the alternatives to the end. You must evaluate whether the need identified in Step 1 would be
helped or solved through the use of each alternative. In going through this difficult internal process,
you begin to favor certain alternatives which appear to have higher potential for reaching your goal.
Eventually you are able to place the alternatives in priority order, based upon your own value
system
5. Making a decision:
 Choosing the best solution with the least bad consequences and most positive consequences
taking into consideration short-term vs long-term
 Alternative choices maybe chosen
6. Taking action:
 Implement what was decided.
7. Evaluating:
 Review and evaluate how did this decision go with the estimated consequences and how would
this decision be better for a similar future problem.
 Did it really solve the problem?
 Was it efficient?
 Reflect on the decision-problem scenario
