Divergence and Convergence in Decision-Making Process PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 51-slide Consulting Project Management Leadership & Team Effectiveness PowerPoint presentation, emphasizes the critical process of diverging before converging in decision-making. It outlines a structured approach to problem-solving, starting with a clearly defined "Problem" on the left. This section suggests that identifying the problem is the first step, which leads to exploring various "Options." The arrows indicate a broadening of possibilities, highlighting the importance of considering multiple avenues before narrowing down choices.

At the center, the "Evaluation Criteria" box serves as a framework for assessing the options generated. It lists 2 key dimensions: "Tacit to Explicit" and "Relative Importance." This suggests a need to clarify implicit assumptions and prioritize the criteria that matter most in the decision-making process. By making tacit knowledge explicit, teams can better align their understanding and expectations. The emphasis on relative importance indicates that not all criteria hold the same weight, guiding teams to focus on what truly impacts their decision.

On the right, the "Decision" box signifies the culmination of this process. The arrows leading to it imply that after thorough evaluation and consideration of options, a well-informed decision can be made. The slide effectively communicates that a systematic approach—first diverging to explore possibilities and then converging to make a decision—enhances the quality of outcomes. This methodical framework is essential for executives looking to improve their decision-making processes in complex environments.
