Before You Decide: 3 Steps To Better Decision Making | Matthew Confer | TEDxOakLawn

[@kumarchinthalaraj]

Summary: 1. Challenge the constraints to think big and think differently- 2. Embrace the pre-mortem to mitigate the potential mistakes and better formulate correct course of action 3. Check the basics- ensure that small details don't prevent us from accomplishing amazing things.

1. Challenge the constraints 2. Ask first, “what failure look like, what does success look like” 3. Don’t forget the details

[@jeffersonchen4680]

Thank you sincerely for saving me time.

[@dank9068]

Actually, step 2 was to contemplate "what failure looks like" only after you've thought about "what success looks like," or, for each possible success path to think about what failure for it may look like.

1- تحدى القيود . حدد القيود التي تواجهك و تمنعك من أتخاذ قرارك . 2- تقبل "مرحلة ما قبل الموت ". تخيل و حلل الأخطاء التي ممكن أن تقع فيها بعد ما تتخذ قرارك و أعطها حلاً . 3- تأكد من الأساسيات . بعض المرات حينما تتخذ القرار أنت تركز على التفاصيل المعقدة وتنسى التفاصيل الاساسيه الصغيره , يجب أن تعطي كل تفاصيل المشكله نفس الإهتمام .

[@KimAhrina11]

Really? Great to hear it

[@Bruce_Quin]

Challenge the constraints. Challenge the $5 in the envelope. Constraints prevent innovate ideas from ever developing. Which allow you to think big and think different. What barriers are hold you back. Start there and see what’s holding you back. Invest the time upfront, how an idea you are considering could end in failure. To mitigate mistakes and correct for better corse of action. Check the basics. Don’t let small details be the downfall. Check all the simple tasks. Don’t let basic things, prevent amazing things.

thx mate

[@saifialig]

Whenever we take any step, we always have fear in mind and it gives many reason to take in back. We can never have complete input for premortem. Its impossible.

[@detectiveMM]

"Check the basics" doesn't seem like it's part of decision making. It feels like it's more in the category of how to execute once you've made a decision

I feel like it'd be more accurate to call this steps for problem solving, rather than decision making.

[@yomama847]

What’s the difference though?

[@nickvv921]

@@yomama847 Maybe just semantics. But to me, "problem solving" involves better defined objectives, whereas "decision making" deals more with unknowns, ripple effects, and unintended consequences.

Remember sustainability...in theory a strategy can look good, but in practice we will always hit bumps we have to tweak as we go along, course correction....a lot of theoretical ideas are great places to start from, but there will always be practical parts of the equation that are missing and means that the original plan is not sustainable for the length of time it was intended form. This is because of what he said, that there are factors beyond our control. We aren't even in control of our own selves because our environment and things we are subjected to affects us. Grow a strategy based on succession- doing what can be done in the moment with the resources available..go in a direction as an experiment, then reassess and change as needed

I was hoping by the end of this, I would be able to make a decision about whether or not to buy a motorcycle... Now I'm afraid I'll end up in a river after miscalculating using the wrong units of measurement if I do buy it...

[@StormsofPeril]

"would it surprise you to find out that the winning team didn't even use the money?" I was thinking that too! If you use the money, you might not get what back what you spent. There's a high change that you'd have less. And what could you do with five dollars? How is 5 dollars supposed to make you more money? Instead, just keep it

Sometimes the communication of 'outside the box' options to interested parties (e.g. an investor; your boss; etc) becomes part of the decision-making calculus.

[@itdies2dayyo]

I wanted to stick through it but him saying constraints hinder innovative thinking is absolute nonsense. Sometimes working with little makes your brain work harder and you think more creatively and have to be more open minded.

[@jenniferhergert4447]

You didn't understand him. The barriers INSIDE YOUR HEAD is what hinders innovative thinking. The example he gave was a group of students who all had the same outside restraints (the 5 dollar and time limit) and only one group thought outside of the box, winning the assignment. This is a lame excuse by yourself to not stick something through

[@Zyhim3]

For all those people who are still thinking about how that team won: The winning team sold the rights of that presentation to all the students in the call and a company. They told the company that can get brilliant employees from Stanford. To students they told that they can get a job opportunity. Correct me if I am wrong 🤔

[@VodkanHN92]

I did not understand that story. Anybody can tell me please

[@hpottstock]

Great presentation and comms exercise... but isn't this good ol' risk management and evidence-based decision making? in 3 steps with catchy names? That was my impression.

[@ntchriest]

Good stories to use as examples of basic steps to decision making processes. A bit formulaic in approach, but overall good advice. Take-away points in single words - think, consider, check. One minor comment to the speech for the speaker's consideration; the species of bird that collided with the airline is the Canada Goose. The geese, not able to have a concept of nationality, are not "Canadian". Thank you.

[@ailsanabila7494]

[@amazingyear9042]

they sold the rights to the presentation to the rest of the class to a Company in town?!? How exactly?

[@akshitatak775]

The team had to present a presentation to their class on what they did with the 5dollars, so that particular team allowed and charged a company to present a presentation in front of Stanford students of their class. ( The company agreed in the hope that those students may join their company after graduation)

"REAL WORLD" this thinking usually leads to criminality.

[@sebastianwrites]

I do find it ridiculous, when they set 'rules' and yes constraints should be challenged but surely also not entirely dismissed in such circumstances as this? It's like that example of the challenge to throw a paper airplane the longest distance, and someone screwed up the paper and threw it. That's not clever, the contest was to throw a paper plane and not a piece of rubbish. The main problem with our society in this respect is that people are not listened to when they present new ideas.

[@shayshayman3369]

Just Do IT 🤡 What is Just Do It? The idea that action trumps theory by a huge margin. Thinking, talking, and planning are good, but the greatest point of leverage for getting results is just doing it. Why is it Important? Without action you will not get any results. The reason you don't have what you want is probably because you aren't taking enough action.
