Resist the Urge to Go With Very Limited Facts

As you enter into you research and investigation phase of decision making, you start discovering information and facts. Sometimes these can be very solid and compelling facts that come to light early in the process. Other times, we think we have very quickly discovered the key information and want to move right to a decision based on this preliminary and important data.

But wait; don’t rush this process. Never presume that, just because you have some really key and important information early in your decision-making process that suggests the right decision, there is not a valuable a set of facts out there yet to be discovered.

Don’t presume that because you came up with two very good solutions early in the process that there is not a better solution yet to be discovered.

Don’t shortcut this process. Follow it through. Research and investigate thoroughly. Talk to everyone who should be involved—everyone. Then decide.
