Many may find it hard to believe that the process Decision making is more important than rigorous decision analysis, and that matters like these shouldn’t be left to chance,

Making important decisions affects Entrepreneur and their team—and, consequently, their company.

One might think that the more you know and the more facts you uncover, the more confident you’ll be in making a decision. That may indeed be true to some extent, because of our biases,

We all know that our beliefs, values, and experiences shape how we see the world—though sometimes we’re inevitably prone to misunderstandings.

People shape the message—intentionally or otherwise—to reassure themselves of their own rationality or to advance their own agenda in line with what they believe to be true.

Why is a decision-making process worthwhile?

The beauty of the decision-making process is that the process itself exposes weak analysis and helps improve it. The reverse, however, is not true: analyzing piles of data

Misunderstanding the word “process”:

I know you might think your team needs another layer of process, but that’s not the case. In fact, a decision-making process saves time by extracting

random conversations from Meetings, aligning behavioral standards, and reducing the bias we can’t realistically ignore.

A team I trained put a decision-making process into practice—and saved itself two weeks of headaches! (That’s what the team said.)

Of course, there are reasons why your team may not have a decision-making process yet. But you can train them to see how a decision-making process can fundamentally change

the effectiveness of decision-making, or introduce one to your team to influence outcomes that depend on the team.
