Don't forget to spread the word!

In complex decisions, it’s tempting to treat every factor as equally important.

But that just leads to confusion, overthinking, and leaves decision-makers feeling overwhelmed.

Here's how to uncover what really matters, and what to focus your decisions on.

Data-driven #decisionmaking is important. But when you're drowning in data, how do you find clarity in what actually matters?

It's important to step back and focus on the essentials. Once you've simplified the picture, you'll find that the fog lifts and you can see clearly.

What's one of the main reasons why strategic initiatives fail? According to Gartner, it's lack of stakeholder engagement.

Here's where organizations often fall short, and what they can do about it.

Subpar organizational performance is often rooted in poor decision-making. Here are some common mistakes to watch out for.

Successful #strategicdecisions start with a roadmap.

What is the goal? Who should be involved? What steps need to be taken to make the decision?

Getting your #decisionmaking framework right opens the path to #betterdecisions and stronger results.

It's hard to make perfect decisions; there are always unknowns.

But involving the right people, using the right tools and processes, and staying aware of common #decision-making mistakes will help you make fewer poor decisions -- and that's what drives organizational success.

Notice the smiling face on the tree below? When you look closely at the forest, interesting details start to emerge — just like with your data! 😊 That's why 1000minds #decisionmaking tools offer built-in analyses — so you can uncover deeper insights and guide your #decisions with confidence.

With great decision-making, your organization can achieve new heights — like our beloved cat Lavash.

When do you make important decisions?

Research shows that decisions made in the morning tend to be more accurate and deliberate. As the day goes on, decision fatigue sets in and we are more prone to bias.

Next time you have an important decision to make, set aside some time in the morning.

When confronted with a difficult choice to make, remember: doing nothing is itself a choice, and often leads to worse outcomes.

Thankfully, we at 1000minds help you make those difficult decisions with more ease and certainty!

To most, the night sky looks like scattered stars. But with training, you learn to recognize constellations and planets.

Understanding people's preferences is the same: complex at first, but with our tools and insight, the patterns become clear.

Just like humans, sea lions have important decisions to make too - like where to fish, how long to rest, which human strangers to trust. Here is Paul Hansen explaining how 1000minds' PAPRIKA algorithm works and how it can be used to make good decisions for everyone.

Decision-making, like hiking a trail, is about taking one step at a time. Each choice builds on the last, leading to progress or setbacks.

Stay mindful how small decisions shape the bigger journey.

In a recent story featuring 1000minds co-founder Paul Hansen in University of Otago's He Kitenga magazine, read how the idea for 1000minds came to life on an IKEA couch on a trip to Stockholm.
