Many of today’s articles on decision making seek to debate rational vs intuitive decision making or spirit the advances in neurological research. We applaud these divergent discussions but in this blog series on decision making we set a middle ground outlining practical executive and managers techniques and tactics to improve your decision making hit rate!
During a series blogs we will provide you with 8 pitfalls that can counteract poor decision making and boost your own results. The 8 pitfalls that will be covered include:
- First - When faced with a crisis we accept the first feasible answer presented.
- Debate- When faced with a decision we start with alternatives.
- Purpose - The purpose for a decision is seldom clear.
- What if – Risks are rarely considered.

We look forward to sharing our practical tips and stories outlined why decisions fail.
