Decision making model

Step 1: Identify the decision to be made. You realize that a decision must be made. You then go through an internal process of trying to define clearly the nature of the decision you must make.

Step 2: Gather relevant information. to know what information is needed, the best sources of this information how to go about getting it Some information must be sought from within yourself through a process of self-assessment Other information must be sought from outside yourself-from books, people, and a variety of other sources

Step 3: Identify alternatives. identify several possible paths of action, or alternatives. use your imagination and information to construct new alternatives. list all possible and desirable alternatives.

Step 4: Weigh evidence draw on your information and emotions to imagine what it would be like if you carried out each of the alternatives to the end. place the alternatives in priority order, based upon your own value system.

Step 5: Choose among alternatives. Once you have weighed all the evidence, you are ready to select the alternative which seems to be best suited to you. You may even choose a combination of alternatives.

Step 6: Take action. You now take some positive action which begins to implement the alternative you chose in Step 5

Step 7: Review decision and consequences. In the last step you experience the results of your decision and evaluate whether or not it has “solved” the need you identified in Step 1. If it has, you may stay with this decision for some period of time. If the decision has not resolved the identified need, you may repeat certain steps of the process in order to make a new decision.
