Decision Making Model

1. Define the problem clearly: Make sure that there is no confusion; every group member should be able to clearly define the problem.
2. Brainstorm action alternatives: Use active listening and keep all members involved
3. Critique each alternative: Avoid negative comments or suggestions; keep an open mind to all alternatives.
4. Come to a unanimous decision on an alternative: Make sure that all group members accept the solutions. Don’t be afraid to voice your opinion.
5. Implement the plan
6. Evaluate and follow up: If the evaluation determines that the decision was unacceptable move back to step two.
