1 Gather Data

Before you can make an informed decision, you need a solid foundation of data. As a library professional, this means understanding your community's needs, the current state of your collection, and your library's usage statistics. Start by conducting surveys or focus groups to gauge patron satisfaction and demand for certain materials or programs. Analyze circulation records to identify trends and underused resources. With this data in hand, you can make decisions that are tailored to your library's unique ecosystem and are more likely to be successful.

Es importante analizar por qué hay recursos que son tendencia y otros son infrautilizados. Conocer la raíz y el origen de todo los da una visión más amplia de las situaciones más allá de los hechos ya constatados.

2 Assess Risks

Risk assessment is a crucial step in the decision-making process. Consider the potential negative outcomes of your decision and weigh them against the benefits. For example, when introducing new technology or services, think about the learning curve for staff and patrons, the cost implications, and the possibility of low adoption rates. By anticipating these risks, you can develop contingency plans or decide if an alternative option might be more viable for your library.

Al evaluar los riesgos, deberíamos distinguir entre riesgos internos (como la aceptación que tendrá determinado programa en nuestra organización o si se pondrá en juego algún perfil o rol de entidad para la empresa) y riesgos externos (como son un elevado coste que provoque una tasa de retorno de inversión muy baja).

3 Set Goals

Clear goals are the compass that guides your decision-making. Determine what you want to achieve with each decision, whether it's increasing patron engagement, expanding your digital collection, or enhancing educational programs. Ensure that your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART). This framework helps you stay focused and provides a benchmark for measuring the success of your decisions.

4 Consult Team

In a library setting, collaboration is key. Your colleagues bring diverse perspectives and expertise to the table. When faced with a tough decision, organize a meeting to discuss the issue at hand. Encourage open dialogue and consider all viewpoints. This collective approach not only fosters a sense of teamwork but also leads to more well-rounded and effective decisions.

Siempre me ha gustado consultar todo y dialogar sobre todo. No obstante, a lo largo de los a?os, echo en falta mucha transparencia y honestidad en las respuestas y en el modo de interactuar de las personas en la sociedad. Así que, no pondría estas consultas como un punto demasiado importante en el desarrollo de negocio o aplicación, ya que van a aportar una imagen distorsionada y poco acorde con la realidad.

5 Review Policies

Library policies are not just bureaucratic red tape; they are there to ensure fairness and consistency. When making decisions, review relevant policies to ensure your actions align with them. If a decision requires you to deviate from established policies, consider the implications and whether it might be necessary to update the policy to better serve your library's mission.

La política debe ser flexible y siempre tener varios escenarios que contemplar porque en la vida la ruta no siempre es plana y sin piedras.

6 Evaluate Impact

After implementing a decision, it's crucial to evaluate its impact. Did it achieve the desired goals? What was the response from patrons and staff? Use feedback mechanisms such as surveys, usage statistics, and informal conversations to gather insights. This evaluation will inform future decisions and help you continuously improve the services and resources your library offers.

La evaluación sobre la tasa de retorno de una inversión, ya sea monetaria, temporaria o de esfuerzo, es crucial. Sin dicha evaluación desconocemos los puntos en los que debemos mejorar.
