HOW TO MAKE DECISIONS RATIONAL DECISION
1. 2. 3. 4.
SELF - ASSESSMENT
• The aim is to make adult people aware of rational decision-making.
Handout
To decide is to choose the possibility (among several) that best
meets the marked objectives with acceptable risks.
2. To specify all the necessary objectives that the selected possibility must indispensably meet
as well as all the desired objectives that the selected possibility does not necessarily have to
meet. Necessary objectives have to be realistic and measurable and expressed as the results to
achieve.
3. To look for and evaluate the different possibilities that may meet the desired necessary
objectives. When a possibility does not meet the necessary objective, it is discarded.
4. All possibilities have risks. They will have to be analysed in order to get a better assessment
of each possibility before deciding. The assessment of risks will be done according to their
occurrence probability and seriousness in case they occur.
