Making Effective Decisions
Making Effective Decisions

About the Course:
"We make decisions every day, many of which will have considerable impact on our work. This course will hone your decision making abilities by giving you techniques to allow accurate, efficient and clear decision making. The Ansoff and Pareto techniques you will learn in this course are both renowned in the business world for generating innovative models for problem analysis and the development of decision strategies. These models are applicable to all levels of problem complexity and are used extensively by renowned blue chip organisations world-wide.

Course Overview: 
-What is a decision, what is a problem?
-A decision relates to a selection from an identified collection of ‘options’ or alternatives
-Effective decision making relies upon the selection of the ‘alternative’ that makes the greatest contribution to a defined objective
-A ‘problem’ relates to an aberrance – something ‘going wrong’; ‘not working as it should’ or ‘failing’ in some way
-Effective problem solving requires both diagnostic competence and, as with decision making, the generation of optional solutions
-The ‘three initial questions’: differentiating between the ‘important’ and the trivial; is this an ‘urgent’ decision; is this a ‘comfortable’ decision?
-Ansoff’s Gap Analysis: where am I, where do I want to be, how do I get there?
-Pareto Analysis: the 80/20 rule – identifying the ‘major’ causes and greatest contributors.
-Modelling (3 Stage and 7 Stage): determining the question; generating options, selection and implementation
Decision making exercise – and practice"
