This Effective Decision Making program will explore how to relate data from different sources and make rational decisions that reflect factual information.  The participants will learn the essentials of decision making such as clarifying the purpose and defining decision criteria first, evaluating the alternative solutions by measuring them against the specific objectives, assessing the risks of the various choices, and making the decision that best balances the positive outcomes with the potential risks.
