Decision analysis tools to assist your decision making efforts

This decision evaluation worksheet is part of a collection of general decision analysis tools that can be used to help you complete the decision making process more efficiently. It uses a decision making matrix to assist you in capturing the criteria, options, risks and opportunities for important decisions. The evaluation worksheet supports Kepner Tregoe analysis and similar multiple criteria decision analysis techniques.

The Frame, Innovate, and Decide steps, describe how to make a decision using the evaluation worksheet. Decision analysis tools assist the process by allowing you to capture, save, update, share, and reuse decision knowledge as well as print the decision information at any time during the process.
