We always make decisions under uncertainty and pressure, especially in business. We need faster and better decisions to cope, but we dont have the time to learn how to make them well. That is where I come in. I wrote this book to allow you to make better decisions without spending weeks studying theory and practice. THE INTRODUCTION gives you a snapshot of two decision-making biases, of the worst mistake you can do when making decision, and a lesson taken straight from philosophy.- Decision Biases (why your brain isnt always your friend in decisions)- The Worst Mistake in Decision-Making- A Lesson From Another Time THE FIRST CHAPTER looks at frameworks of reference, meaning how you can apply decision-making to achieve your goals, for example how and why some decisions are able to automatically give you a competitive advantage.- The OODA Loop- The Recognition-Primed Decision Model- GROW or the John Whitmore Model- The PDSA Cycle CHAPTERS 2 TO 5 look at separate phases of decision-making: understanding your context, understanding the problem, generating solutions and selecting one option out of many. 2 - CONTEXTContexts can be very different - and there is no one size fits all approach, which is why this book provides you with five.- SWOT and PEST- TELOS- Porters Five Forces- Causal Loops Diagrams 3 - PROBLEM ASSESSMENTBefore making decisions, then, you need to work on finding out exactly what you are trying to solve.

Often, managers are torn between these two options - you have three tools to help you though: - The Vroom-Yetton-Jago Model- The Hoy-Tarter Model- The Hersey-Blanchard Model 7 - GROUP TECHNIQUESTo be used when making decisions in a group is necessary.- The Nominal Group Technique- The Delphi Method- Hartnetts Consensus-Oriented Decision-Making Model- The Stepladder Technique- DeBonos Six Thinking Hats- The Charette Procedure- RAPID CHAPTERS 8 AND 9 look at decisions in corporate strategy and analyse a decisions consequence 8 - CORPORATE STRATEGYThese decision tools have all been developed for corporations, but they still hold value for smaller businesses.- The BCG Matrix- The Advantage Matrix- The GE Matrix- Blind Spot Analysis 9 - CONSEQUENCESIn other words: "how can I make sure that the decision I made is the best one and will work in my specific situation?"Unfortunately nobody can answer this.
