The main stages of making managerial decisions

Adoption of any decision is a responsibility, and making a managerial decision is a double responsibility, since the effectiveness of the work of the whole organization and people working in it depends on the decision of the management. The decision-making process is a whole complex of works. The decision must go through several stages of preparation in order to be accepted for execution. The main stages of making managerial decisions :

1. Collecting and analyzing information about a situation that requires a solution. We must try to collect the most reliable and complete information, using several sources for this. Then the quantitative component of the entire information volume should be turned into a quality one.

2. Specification of goals. An experienced leader should be able to identify priority goals, in accordance with which mechanisms, resources and factors that influence the situation are further highlighted.

3. Stages of making managerial decisions would be incomplete without the development of an evaluation system. Each manager has his own approach to assessing the situation and his own criteria for making managerial decisions, based on experience and knowledge.

4. The analysis of the situation allows us to establish certain factors that have an impact on this situation

5. Diagnosis of the situation. This stage is sometimes included as one of the components of the situation analysis. At this stage, the importance of the problem is established, the possibility of the impact of this problem on production processes is explored. To make the right management decision, this diagnosis should be adequate.

6. Creating a forecast for the further development of the situation. All stages of making managerial decisions depend to some extent on the leader's ability to predict the further development of the situation. Forecasting the situation allows you to decide on several solutions.

7. What happens at the seventh stage, namely the generation of alternative solutions. All previous stages of making managerial decisions should serve as a basis for this stage.

8. Choice of the variant of administrative influence and screening of superfluous. After rejecting ineffective or ineffective options, one, at most two options, of further impact is left.

9. Development of the proposed scenario for the further development of the situation. After the adoption of any management decision, the situation will develop rapidly, so to quickly respond to changed circumstances, you need to identify the main trends of its development in time.

10. Expert evaluation of the likely options of management impact. This assessment will allow to qualitatively rank the control actions taking into account the evaluation system, to reveal the level of the expected achievement of the goal, to estimate the material costs that will result from the anticipated scenarios of events.

11. Collective expert evaluation is recommended when making responsible management decisions. They allow us to make a sound basis for effective decision-making.

12. Elaboration of a further action plan allows to develop a set of measures for the implementation of the management decision.

13. Control of the implementation of the solution allows you to monitor the further development of events and promptly respond to any unforeseen deviations from the adopted scheme.

14. Analysis of the results obtained makes it possible to assess the effectiveness of the decision and the potential development potential of the organization.

All these stages of making managerial decisions precede the phase of managerial influence. The more qualitative and effective the administrative impact, the more effectively the organization works economically. Based on the evaluation and analysis of economic indicators, it is also possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the manager's decisions.
