1 Identify the problem

The first step to making a good decision is to clearly define the problem you are trying to solve. This may sound obvious, but often we jump to solutions without fully understanding the root cause, the scope, and the implications of the issue. To identify the problem, you can use some tools and techniques, such as brainstorming, mind mapping, SWOT analysis, or the 5 Whys method. These can help you to gather relevant information, break down the problem into smaller parts, and identify the key factors and stakeholders involved.

It depends on whether these are personal/business decisions. For personal decisions, I have found they’re easier if you have made time to clarify your long term ends (not means). That is - when you have settled on who you want to be, what contributions you want to make with your life. It allows you to weigh options against whether or not they are the right means to that end: a job, a friendship, a spouse, a city, a neighborhood. Because these are all means to that end. Clarifying the end allows you to select means quicker. And if a particular job, city, friend, etc no longer serves as an effective means, you need speed and the strategic flexibility to recognize the situation & switch quickly. 4 keys: detachment, clarity flexibility & speed

To enhance decision-making abilities, it's important to first identify the hindering factors. This could include stress, fatigue, or a lack of information. Taking a break and stepping back from the situation can provide a new perspective and reduce mental clutter. Engaging in activities that promote relaxation and clear thinking, such as meditation or a walk in nature. Additionally, seeking the advice of trusted colleagues or mentors can provide new insights and alternatives. It's also helpful to break down complex decisions into smaller, more manageable parts, and to prioritize tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Lastly, keeping a decision journal can help in understanding one's decision-making patterns and in improving them over time.

Este primer paso es básico en la toma de decisiones...las malas identificaciones del problema generan decisiones que a la larga son incorrectas. El análisis DAFO me ha servido mucho personalmente en mi toma de decisiones.

Integrating bots into education decision-making offers numerous advantages. Firstly, they streamline administrative tasks, freeing educators to focus on teaching. Bots also personalize learning by analyzing student data to tailor content, maximizing outcomes. They enhance communication by facilitating interaction among students, teachers, and parents, fostering collaboration. Additionally, bots aid decision-making by providing insights based on data analysis, identifying at-risk students, and suggesting improvements. Overall, bots improve efficiency, personalize learning, foster communication, and support data-driven decision-making, benefiting the entire educational community.

2 Generate alternatives

Once you have a clear picture of the problem, you need to explore the possible options to solve it. This is where you can get creative and think outside the box, without limiting yourself by preconceptions or assumptions. You can use techniques such as brainstorming, divergent thinking, or SCAMPER to generate a wide range of alternatives, from the most obvious to the most unconventional. The goal is to have a variety of choices to evaluate and compare, rather than settling for the first or the easiest one.

Ideate individually to avoid groupthink. Brainstorm wild ideas without judgement using techniques like mind mapping. Consider “what if” scenarios from various viewpoints and conduct brief feasibility research on novel options. Combine ideas to form hybrid solutions. Continue brainstorming till you have 10-15 varied options documented for consideration rather than rushing to a solution.

Dentro de la toma de decisión y ante un bloqueo inspiracional, una de las mejores prácticas es Desing Thinking, plantear el problema, visualizar opciones fuera de tu mismo giro, hacer la lluvia de ideas con apoyo de grupos de trabajo y explotar datos propios o estadísticos de fuentes expertas y con esto llegar a una idea diferente estableciendo alternativas distintas a las últimas planteadas, básicamente es pensar fuera de lo tradicional, de esta manera renuevas tu manera de solucionar problemas con una nueva visión.

Il peut être intéressant de sortir du cadre classique, et aller rechercher des problèmes similaires, mais dans d'autres domaines de compétences. Ensuite, si l'on en a le temps, laisser murir dans son esprit, "l'oublier" quelque temps pour laisser la problématique infuser à la lumière d'autres concepts et d'autres visions. Et rester humble, on peut quelquefois vouloir se précipiter à rechercher une solution, alors qu'il suffit quelquefois de prendre du recul, pour avoir une meilleure perception de ce qui a pu nous échapper en première analyse.

3 Evaluate alternatives

The next step is to assess the pros and cons of each alternative, and to weigh them against your criteria and goals. You can use tools such as decision matrices, cost-benefit analysis, or risk assessment to rank and score your options, and to visualize the trade-offs and consequences of each one. You should also consider the feasibility, the impact, and the alignment of each alternative with your values and vision. This step can help you to narrow down your choices and to eliminate the ones that are not suitable or viable.

Start by defining selection criteria and weights based on goals/constraints. For each option, conduct a pro/con analysis to quantify fit and scores on weighted factors wherever possible. Estimate resource needs and run sensitivity analysis adjusting weights to flag risks. Pilot top options at small scale if possible. This comparison lets you rate top performers based on objective fit and total weighted scores to identify viable candidates for deeper investigation before selection.

4 Choose an alternative

After evaluating the alternatives, you need to make a decision and commit to it. This can be challenging, especially if you have conflicting or incomplete information, or if you face pressure or resistance from others. To overcome these obstacles, you need to trust your logic and intuition, and to avoid some common cognitive biases that can cloud your judgment, such as confirmation bias, anchoring bias, or overconfidence bias. You can also seek feedback or advice from others who have relevant expertise or experience, but ultimately, you have to own your decision and be ready to act on it.

Choisir, ne signifie pas renoncer à toutes les autres alternatives. il peut être intéressant de classer, catégoriser les alternatives selon leur degré de compatibilité, selon leur adéquation avec le problème. Et surtout, apprendre à changer d'avis, à ne pas se laisser enfermer mentalement dans le biais de confirmation " je ne sais plus changer d'avis car j'ai opté pour cette solution". Assumer, c'est être capable d'admettre que la 1ere solution retenue n'était finalement pas la plus optimale.

5 Implement the decision

Making a decision is not enough; you also need to execute it and monitor its results. This means that you have to communicate your decision clearly and convincingly to the people who are affected by it or involved in it, and to provide them with the necessary resources and support to implement it. You also need to set clear and measurable objectives and indicators to track the progress and performance of your decision, and to identify any issues or deviations that may arise along the way.

6 Review the decision

The final step is to evaluate the outcome and impact of your decision, and to learn from the feedback and results. You can use tools such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, or data analysis to collect and analyze the feedback and results, and to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of your decision. You should also reflect on the process and the lessons learned, and to acknowledge the successes and failures, the strengths and weaknesses, and the opportunities and threats of your decision. This can help you to improve your decision-making skills and confidence, and to apply them to future situations.

La toma de decisiones es un proceso continuo y aprender a tomar decisiones efectivas lleva tiempo. Por ello, si sientes que tu capacidad de toma de decisiones necesita un impulso, te comparto algunas estrategias que he utilizado: Reflexiona sobre cuáles son tus valores fundamentales y qué objetivos deseas alcanzar. Toma el tiempo necesario para recopilar la información relevante sobre la situación en la que debes decidir. Considera los posibles resultados y cómo se alinean con tus valores y objetivos. Analiza los posibles riesgos y beneficios. Evalúa si estás dispuesto a asumir los riesgos asociados con cada decisión. Confía en tu proceso de toma de decisiones y en que has tomado la mejor decisión posible con la información disponible.

Sometimes, we need to go into the body to access our intuition about an important decision. One exercise I find helpful is to close your eyes, and imagine you’ve made your decision and you’re living the results it’s yielded. Now notice in your body if you feel a sense of: - Expansion: this means this choice feels exciting, and fills you with a sense of possibilities. - Retraction: this probably means that a wise part of you that knows this choice will lead you down the wrong path. There is a quiet wisdom in all of us that we can often dampen by only thinking logically.

Reduce decision-making bias. Be aware of common cognitive biases that can cloud judgment, such as confirmation bias, anchoring bias, and availability bias. Take steps to mitigate these biases by gathering diverse perspectives, seeking out contradictory evidence, and challenging your assumptions.
