Better Decision

Better Decision

A decision is something that is required when the answer doesn’t present itself. So making a choice when no clear or best option seems to appear, we should go through a process to find the best option to meet our requirements. This process may be very straightforward and represent a choice we’ve made many times before. The negotiable items are those criteria that will be met in varying degrees by each option.
In the discussion of criteria we raised the question of how many and which kind. Do you remember your last bad decision? I’ll bet you’d list some very specific criteria were you to make that very decision again today.
For example, any retail web site can list the great features of two computers side-by-side. How about disk drive size? Of course you have to determine which features or criteria are important to you, and then use those in your final decision process.
Another source of good criteria is consumer magazines and sites. What are these sites telling you about the products or services? The topics of their studies are great sources of what might also be important in your decision. Yet another source is advertisements. What are the vendors and manufacturers or users of a product or service telling you? It’s important to them; perhaps it is important to you as well.
The bottom line: there are good criteria all around us. Great sources can be found on the web, vendor literature, advertisements and friends and neighbors. The best decisions will be made after careful evaluation of sound criteria. Give your criteria careful consideration and your decision will prove sound for years to come!
