Study Notes
Level One (Prescriptive)
- Develop general goals in a specific order, setting the foundation for decision-making.
- Create a comprehensive set of alternatives, ensuring a thorough consideration of options.
- Conduct a systematic assessment of alternatives, analyzing global variables and factors to evaluate each option.
- Select and implement the best course of action, aligning with the general goals to maximize attainment.
- Re-evaluate and adjust when systemic stresses reach predefined thresholds, ensuring ongoing effectiveness.
Mixed Scanning
- Guided by two primary questions: mission fulfillment and decision alignment with mission and policy
- Identifies what decisions contribute to achieving the mission and policy
Key Features
- Broad goal, mission, or policy serves as the guiding framework for decision-making
- Decisions are made incrementally, with consideration of the overall mission
- Consequences of decisions are evaluated in relation to the broad goal
- Decision-making is based on partial information, rather than complete knowledge
- Further small decisions are made contingent on progress being satisfactory
