Clearly explains decision making in

to improve your decision making skills and techniques
Explains the Decision Making Process Based on the Scientific Method
The best model formula for decision making is the same as the one for the scientific method of problem solving. The scientific method, while used by scientists, is basically a general method for all fields, including our personal lives. On this site it is explained clearly and concisely in non-technical language.
Decision Making Worksheet
To make it easier for you to apply decision making skills and decision making techniques, I have designed a great tool – a decision making worksheet for the decision making process (SM-14).
Follow the worksheet as a guide when researching important and strategic decision making.
48-Page Booklet on the Complete Method of Creative Decision Making
Also presented on this site is an invaluable free 48-page booklet “Decision Making Today (SM-14)” which explains the decision making process with two pages devoted to each step or stage and to the three supporting ingredients. It also covers other subjects such as the four major divisions of decision making, which are intuition, short decision making process, complete decision making process, and the various “sciences” of decision making.
Research Reports on Decision Making
Read the Research Reports on decision making for important information on special topics (see the menu), including decision making skills and techniques. New ones are added periodically.
Teach SM-14 to Prevent Economic Crises
I claim that if the scientific method of problem solving and decision making (SM-14) had been widely taught, the economic crisis of 2008 would never have occurred.

Reliable Knowledge in Decision Making
I have spent 35 years as founder and President of Edmund Scientific Co., Barrington, NJ, gaining extensive problem solving and decision making experience, then 20 years as a full-time educational researcher specializing in the scientific method process of problem solving and decision making. You get the benefit of 35 years of practical experience and 20 years of academic-type research of the literature – free. The body of knowledge about a model for and the process of problem solving and decision making is huge and complex.
I have tried hard to extract the basic principles of the foundation of these and I present them in an easy to understand form suitable for an introductory course for an individual or student. I also claim that the SM-14 model for the steps or stages and ingredients of problem solving and decision making presented here is the best ever offered.
Good judgment depends on good decision making! Good luck to you in your efforts to improve your decision making techniques and skills.
