1 Assess Fast

The first step in making a quick decision is to assess the situation rapidly. Scan the available data for key information that directly impacts your decision. Learn to identify what's critical and what's not—this is a skill that improves with practice. Prioritize the data by relevance and urgency. If you're dealing with numerical data, look for trends and outliers. For textual information, focus on the main ideas and actionable items. By quickly understanding the essence of the data, you can move on to the next step with confidence.

- Prioritize: Focus on the most critical data and decisions that will have the biggest impact. - Simplify: Break down complex data into key insights that are actionable. - Use Data Visualization: Leverage charts and graphs to quickly grasp patterns and trends. - Trust Expertise: Rely on your experience and intuition alongside the data. - Delegate: Involve your team in data analysis to speed up the process. - Set Deadlines: Give yourself a clear timeframe to avoid overanalyzing.

When time is tight and data is complex, prioritize clarity over perfection. Start by identifying the key objective — what needs to be achieved right now? Use the 80/20 rule: focus on the 20% of data that drives 80% of decisions. Leverage your experience and intuition for quick judgment calls, but don't shy away from input from your team. Limit the scope of the decision to what's essential, keeping future adjustments in mind. Lastly, be decisive — indecision wastes time. Remember, "A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week." (George S. Patton).

FILTERN Sie die Daten nach "GEMEINSAMEN Nennern". Die auf das Ziel der Entscheidung weisen. Oder l?nger gesagt: ordnen Sie die Daten nach gemeinsamen Mustern, Ursachen, Eigenschaften, etc.

2 Reduce Noise

Complex data often includes irrelevant information that can cloud your judgment. To navigate through this noise, concentrate on filtering out the non-essential details. Ask yourself which pieces of data will have the most significant impact on the outcome. Use techniques like the 80/20 rule, which suggests that 80% of effects come from 20% of causes, to identify what truly matters. This will help you to avoid analysis paralysis and keep your decision-making process lean and effective.

GEWICHTEN Sie die gefilterten DATEN nach H?UFIGKEIT und RELEVANZ - und suchen Sie die für Sie zwei oder drei relevanten Quellen oder Pr?zedenzen, von welchen Sie überzeugt sind, dass IHNEN Unterstützung und Klarstellung bei der Entscheidungsfindung gew?hrt wird - so sie solche kennen und ihnen vertrauen. Je nach Zeitdruck, Komplexit?t und Menge der Daten, und Wichtigkeitsstatus der Entscheidung auf "Ihr" Ziel bezogen, kann erwogen werden, definierte Daten bei der Entscheidungsfindung zu ignorieren, die als "geringen Einfluss auf das Ergebnis habend" empfunden und/oder erkannt wurden.

3 Leverage Intuition

Your intuition is a powerful ally when time is short. It's the result of your brain's pattern recognition abilities and past experiences. Trusting your gut doesn't mean making uninformed choices; rather, it's about using your subconscious mind to guide you towards a decision when there's no time for extensive analysis. Combine intuition with the key data points you've identified to make a balanced decision. Remember, intuition is not infallible, so it should be one component of your decision-making process, not the sole factor.

INTUITION ist nicht nur eine "GOTT-gegebene Gabe" sondern auch Resultat der (eigenen und leibhaftig miterlebten) Lebenserfahrung (Anderer) - und deshalb, je nach individueller Erfahrung - dominant oder subdominant zu respektieren = zu berücksichtigen. Daher hat die Lehre der "Baba Jaga": "Der Morgen ist klüger als der Abend" wohl zurecht Wert zugeschrieben bekommen. Anders gesagt, eine Nacht darüber schlafen, MUSS zeitlich "d'rinn" sein (ausgenommen sind lebensrettende Entscheidungen, die mehr oder weniger SOFORT getroffen werden müssen).

4 Decide Quickly

Once you've assessed the data and filtered out the noise, it's time to make your decision. Set a deadline for yourself, even if it's just a few minutes. This creates a sense of urgency and prevents overthinking. When deciding, be decisive and confident. If the decision is reversible, remember that making a choice now and adjusting later can be more effective than delaying. Quick decision-making is about progress, not perfection.

Eine (vor)schnelle Entscheidung ist gewiss nicht einer "gesicherten" und etwas verz?gerten Entscheidung vorzuziehen - nicht einmal in akut lebensgef?hrdeten Situationen. Meine Mutter pflegte zu sagen: "Gut gemeint ist manchmal schlimmer als schlecht getan". Deshalb ist ein kurzer "CHECK" der m?glichen Auswirkungen der Entscheidung wohl meist keine zeitliche Fehlinvestition.

5 Learn Continuously

After making a quick decision, take the time later to reflect on the outcome. What worked well? What could have been done differently? This reflection is crucial for improving your decision-making skills over time. Learning from each experience, whether the outcome was favorable or not, will make you more adept at navigating similar situations in the future. Continuous learning is a vital part of effective problem solving, especially when quick decisions are required.

Der Mensch ist ganz allgemein GUT beraten, die Empfehlung umzusetzen: "Suche das WISSEN von der Wiege bis zum Grab". Zum Erwerb des Wissens geh?rt selbstverst?ndlich das Lernen aus den Konsequenzen entschiedener Handlungen, entscheidenden Fehlern und Erfolgen. Das Nichtberücksichtigen dieser Empfehlung ist keine auszeichnende Eigenschaft eines Entscheidungstr?gers.

6 Adapt Strategies

Different scenarios may require different approaches to decision-making. Be flexible and willing to adapt your strategies as needed. Sometimes a structured approach, like a pros-and-cons list, may be useful even when time is limited. Other times, relying more heavily on intuition might be appropriate. The key is to have a toolkit of problem-solving strategies at your disposal and to choose the right tool for the job at hand. By being adaptable, you can tackle any decision, no matter how complex or time-sensitive it may be.

When making quick decisions for complex problems, the goal should be progress over perfection. Once you have identified the problem, break it down into smaller tasks (if possible). This way, the complex problem becomes more manageable. Next, identify ONE thing you can do right away that would drive the greatest impact. Set a timer tackle that first task. I find that this sets the momentum for getting the remaining tasks done. Set a timeframe to get everything done and work towards this. Remember, progress over perfection….

Die bei der Entscheidungsfindung angewandten Strategien, sind erfolgreicher gew?hlt, wenn verschiedene Strategien, resp. die umzusetzende Strategie nicht nach dem Prinzip, "ENTWEDER - ODER", sondern jedenfalls erst NACH Einbezug und Berücksichtigung des Prinzips, "SOWOHL als AUCH" zum Einsatz gebracht werden.
