How to make better decisions?

Agile Business Intelligence Communications Management Strategy

Anish Abraham Privacy Program Manager| University of Washington Auburn, Wa, United States

When making a decision of major importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons. However, some people seem to be more naturally inclined to take an intuitive approach in making decisions. I believe knowledge is very important in making decisions, so it is better to ask questions, like who? what? where? when? why? and how?, also do research and use decision support systems. What is your opinion?

Most of the answers posted here are appropriate. Decision making should be done by a group and not a single person. To get consensus from most of the stakeholders would help you.
Brainstorming and DAR (of CMMI) are helpful in making a decision.

Thanks Sonali for your feedback on this.

Always the decisions are facilitated if you have more information, a greater knowledge of the environment and the organization.
Decision makers use to decide on possible alternatives: the least investment, with the greatest benefits and the lowest risks

Anish, you're emphasizing nothing else than the importance of communications in Project Management in general and in Decision Making in particular.It's true that Emotional Intelligence and Intuition are facts but unfortunately not fully reliable.In project management, there is no place for uncertainties, things must be clear and without any doubt.
