How do we make sure tactical decisions support our top-level strategy?

The story of how two Israeli psychologists Amos Tversky and Danny Kahneman redefined how the human mind actually works – establishing a cognitive basis for common human errors that arise from heuristics and biases

MANAGING OPERATIONS

THE CHALLENGE OF MAKING DECISIONS

We can use data and analysis as an antidote to the warping that naturally goes on when we are making intuitive judgments.

In both business and in life

We make bad judgment calls because of inherent biases in the human mind.

I’m asking $5,000 for this classic Buick Century, but for you I can do $4,300.

Anchoring (or focalism) is the idea that your mind can be swayed by totally irrelevant information when you’re making a decision. 

. . .the actual average retail is $2,500.

CH02: OPS STRATEGY, GLOBAL

Business organizations are a collection of individuals constantly making decisions of varying importance.

(or waiting for decisions to be made for them)

Quantitative approach to evaluating multiple options

Helps drive team consensus around key decisions

Simple Tool, Surprisingly Effective. Gets people talking.

USE A “WEIGHTED DECISION MATRIX”

Also known as the FACTOR-RATING METHOD

Decision Matrix Worksheet

CH02: OPS STRATEGY, GLOBAL

ADMN580: Quantitative Decision Making

Then sum the column for a total weighted score.

Repeat for each column and compare the results. Who do you pick?

Multiply each factor score by their weight.

You are tasked with helping National Architects Inc. select an outsourced IT provider. Your supplier management team conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) and received the following results. Which supplier do you recommend?

Scores are within 2% of each other. What do would you recommend?

Decision Matrix Practices

How will your team spend your gap year? How strong is the consensus?

Assume your team plans to take a “group gap year”. Use a decision matrix to reach a consensus on how to spend your time away from UNH.

Download DECISION MATRIX template

Brainstorm decision criteria - reflecting your team’s goals (list at least five)

Review the criteria list and weight the importance of each (on a scale of 1 to 10)

Brainstorm gap year options - where to go? / what to do? (be specific - list five)

Review options and score each based on how well each would fulfil the required decision criteria (1 “not at all” thru 10 “completely”)

Once all options are scored, multiply the option score by the associated criteria weight and sum the product to get a weighted score for each option

Discuss results as a team and select an option for your gap year experience. Report back to the class and comment on how the decision process worked.
