SYNOPSIS

Decision must be taken and actions must be taken in all organizations. Often however, there is uncertainty over how to proceed. People find it hard to think together about choices they have to make. At times they cannot agree on how to start making the decision. Making decision is not always an easy task. Lacking commonly accepted, unbiased procedures, decision making becomes a shoving contest among those with differing points of view. The ones with the most power frequently prevail. Others accept it to either to
save face or avoid direct confrontation.

Systematic Decision Making Technique (SDMT) will provide a common approach to decision making process, where people can indeed work as a team. The process of SDMT will reconcile those from differing positions because it is less biased. A better way to avoid the risk of overlooking important information, failing to consult the proper people, and making mistakes when making decision is to apply a systematic approach to decision making. Its technique represent expansion and refinement of elements in this thinking pattern:
i. appreciating the fact that a choice must be made.
ii. considering the specific factors that must be satisfied if the choice is to succeed.
iii. deciding on what kind of action will best satisfy these factors.
iv. considering what risks may be attached to our final choice of action that could jeopardize its safety and success.

One of the most tangible benefits of the program is that it enable people to communicate with the common language of decision making.
