Recognizing the limiting factor in a given situation makes it possible to narrow down the search for alternatives and make the best decision possible with the information, resources, and time available.
Some methods for developing alternatives are:
Brainstorming, where a group works together to generate ideas and alternative solutions.
Nominal group technique is a method that involves the use of a highly structured meeting, complete with an agenda, and restricts discussion or
Interpersonal communication during the decisionāmaking process.
Delphi technique
where the participants do not meet, but a group leader uses
Written questionnaires to conduct the decision making.
