Decision-making techniques are methods used to choose the best course of action among various options. Common techniques include pros and cons lists, where individuals weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each choice, and brainstorming, which encourages creative thinking to generate multiple solutions. Another popular technique is the decision matrix, which helps evaluate options based on specific criteria by assigning scores. Additionally, SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) allows individuals or teams to assess internal and external factors influencing their decisions. These techniques can enhance clarity and improve the quality of decisions made.
