Making Decisions Effectively and Efficiently, III
If you are working with a group, identify individual roles such as:
• Who will make the decision
• Who’s support is required in making the decision
• Who has interest, but no influence in the decision
Focus on those whose support is required in making the decision. Ask them if there is any other information they may need, and when they will be talking with the decision maker to make the decision. Be sure people understand the implications of making a late decision. Make it clear. Put it on the schedule if you have to.
Lastly, when a decision is close to being reached, agree on a date and time that the decision will officially be made by. If you followed the above advice, the decision should be made under budget and on time.
