Which is More Important…

Today’s decision, or tomorrow’s decisioning?

It’s like the old analogy:

“Catch them a fish and you may feed them for today…

teach them to fish and they will not go hungry.”

Would this not apply to decisioning? Many of us believe that if we could only get through this one decision (a biggie), then we could relax and kick back only to find that the next one in line was even bigger. Ouch.

Like the fishing parallel, if somehow we were taught effective decisioning, then the process could carry us through this day and the next. A continuing problem is that we have grown (or digressed) into an activity pressured society that hardly allows us the time to learn, re-learn or stay with a subject long enough to create a new MO (modus operandi) or habit.

We would think that that with all of the digital gadgetry at our disposal, this job would get easier. On the contrary, all the technology seems to make the process more confusing because of chocking volumes of conflicting information from all sources.

What’s a body to do?

One remedy…to adopt a simple decisioning process, and then discover the specific information that supports it. The challenging part of this is will be to decide that a process will help you, and then, finding the process to adopt that fits you.

Shortcut: Zillion Dollar Thinking

Since there are several references to the ZDT MODEL in this blog, we won’t bore you with repetition. The main point here is that the four steps of the MODEL point to one real opportunity. The base and first step of the structure is the “due diligence or discovery stage.”

If this step is not properly satisfied, then all the remaining steps will be faulty. So, here is where one could put all the digital information to work in filling this blank. Search engines have gotten very smart and are target data sensitive.

Using digital data discovery (of the facts) makes this process efficient, effective and time saving. We contend that the reason that many people are hesitant to adopt a new process is because they believe that it cannot be done without a huge complicated transition. The solution here is:

Simplify…Simplify…Simplify.

The benefits so outweigh the relatively small effort. Go fishing.

As always…you decide.
