A decision-making process does not always imply passing through a great number of preliminary stages and steps. The solution may occur spontaneously even when you are not expecting it. However, there are decisions that constitute a serious challenge to solve because they depend on sophisticated circumstances that cannot be noticed at a glance.
Therefore, there are no regular rules and principles that permit finding a way-out to any problem. For example, you need to decide what to wear on the meeting. For this occasion, you should think over the whether conditions, as well as the goal of meeting, should it be a business meeting or just a meeting with you friends.
One way or another, a decision-making process is strongly associated with unique, creative stages that differ from occasion to occasion and depend on numerous factors. Personally, I prefer using the moment-of-insight method because it allows to make the most creative and efficient decisions.
The fact that there is always a solution to any problem is undeniable because all the answers are in our head. All we need is to search for the right answer on the right shelf in our brain. Keep searching for the information means that we should never give up because there is always a solution. The main point here lies not in the process of searching, but in the attitude to the process itself.
Some people are too obsessed with stereotypical thinking that they are reluctant to look for opportunities. In fact, such people are narrow-minded and are afraid to go beyond the comfort zone. However, as soon as they realize that there are endless number of approaches and methods, the decision-making process will become an excited adventure to the world of solutions.
I am positive about the idea that constant working on the problem-solving process does not always give desirable outcomes because it often prevents people from appealing to their intuition and creativity. For instance, in case there is a problem of creating a specific logo for a certain product, it is almost impossible to invent something interesting and even genius while sitting in office and thinking over this logo.
In fact, the idea can occur to you unexpectedly, when you are walking home, buying bread in a supermarket, or taking a shower. In other words, blurring the thematic boundaries and powering up your imagination are best escorts for a decision-making process. Despite the fact that the process of searching for solutions does not recognize deadlines, time management is another constrain which hamper the idea generation.
In such situations, I prefer making decisions on the spot because the first thought is the most reasonable and effective one. Besides, quick solutions are even more efficient than well-thought and considered ideas.
With regard to the above-proposed techniques, I conclude that a decision-making process is successful as soon as you realize there is nothing impossible in this world. Going beyond the boundaries is the secret to success. Being dependent on convention is the key to failure.
People should be aware of the unlimited possibilities of human mind that reveals the potential of making important decisions. In addition, it is also important to believe that imagination is more important than knowledge because it uncovers the unknown resources of human mind and enriches the actual process of solving problems.
