Sequential Steps in Rational Decision Making Process PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 22-slide Decision Making Models: Thinking, Seeing, Doing PowerPoint presentation, outlines the Rational Decision Making Model, also referred to as "Thinking First," which consists of 4 sequential steps: Decline, Diagnose, Design, and Decide. This model is presented as a linear and clearly defined process, emphasizing its iterative nature.

The first step, Decline, involves identifying the problem that needs to be addressed. This is crucial as it sets the foundation for the subsequent steps. Following this, the Diagnose phase requires a thorough examination of the causes behind the identified problem. This step is essential for understanding the context and implications of the issue at hand.

Next is the Design phase, where potential solutions are developed. This step is about creativity and strategic thinking, as it involves generating various options that could address the problem effectively. Finally, the Decide step entails selecting the most appropriate solution from the options designed in the previous phase. This decision-making process is critical, as it determines the course of action to be taken.

The slide also includes a note that highlights the importance of each step, reinforcing that the definition of the problem is always the first step, followed by a diagnosis of its cause. The linearity of the process suggests that each step must be completed in order, ensuring a structured approach to decision-making. The concluding remark emphasizes that a rational approach to decision-making is often an exception rather than the norm, suggesting that many organizations may struggle with this structured methodology. This insight can be valuable for potential customers looking to enhance their decision-making frameworks.
