Descision Making Models

Everyday people must make descisions. They can be large or small. They can have great impace or none. A model we learned in class is the G.R.E.A.T descision model. The G.R.E.A.T decision making model lets you think about your decisions before you act on them. The G.R.E.A.T decisions making models has a step by step process including GIVING thought to the problem, REVIEWING your choices, EVALUATING the consequences of each choice, ASSESSING and choosing the best choice, and THINKING it over afterward.

Another type of model is the PLUS decsision nmaking model. This model was used on studies throughout time. Many have said it is the most efficient.
The model outline is...

Step 1: Define the problem
Step 2: Identify available alternative solutions to the problem
Step 3: Evaluate the identified alternatives
Step 4: Make the decision
Step 5: Implement the decision
Step 6: Evaluate the decision

A third decsision making model is the Rational Model. This model is popular and commonly used decision making tool. This process involves thinking through and weighing alternatives where each step follows a logical order.
This is the model outline,
*Define the situation/decision to be made
*Identify the important criteria for the process and the result
*Consider all possible solutions
*Calculate the consequences of these solutions versus the likelihood of satisfying the criteria
*Choose the best option


In my opinion the PLUS model is the most to do with GREAT because of its similarities with steps. The best model would probaly be the GREAT one because of it's great challenges and self help.
