The Decision-Making Context

Decision-making is a seven-part process that ends with taking action. Before you can make a decision, you must understand the circumstances that are prompting and influencing the decision, and you must understand the nature of the decision itself. This course is part of the Decision-Making series, a series designed to help managers and leaders identify issues and make balanced decisions that add value. In this course, you’ll learn the importance of defining a decision and understanding its context prior to making it. You’ll also learn how to conduct an effective situation analysis. At the end of this course, you’ll be able to perform the first two steps in the decision-making process.
