INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
DECIDE is a six-step framework for structured decision making. D, Define, states the problem to be solved. E, Establish, sets the criteria that will evaluate the options. C, Consider, lists every possible alternative. I, Identify, rates the alternatives against the criteria and selects the best. D, Develop, plans the implementation in detail. E, Evaluate, reviews the outcome and captures the lesson. The structured process ensures that decision makers do not skip the critical steps, especially establishing criteria and evaluating results.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Fix the criteria first: decide exactly how you will judge before you ever see the options. - Widen the alternatives: deliberately list more than the obvious two choices before deciding. - Evaluate the outcome: always close the loop and honestly capture the lesson learned.
Anchor fast decisions
A six-step structured decision framework that forces decision makers not to skip the critical steps, especially establishing criteria and evaluating the result, so process discipline constrains cognitive bias and impulsive choice.
