Which sequence represents the DECIDE model steps in correct order?

Which sequence represents the DECIDE model steps in correct order?

• A. Detect the problem, Identify options, Estimate impacts, Choose among options, Do it, Evaluate results.
• B. Detect the problem, Estimate impacts, Choose among options, Identify options, Do it, Evaluate results.
• C. Detect the problem, Evaluate outcomes, Decide on action, Implement, Monitor results.
• D. Detect the problem, Gather data, Compare options, Decide, Act, Reflect.

Answer: (B)

This sequence follows the flow of making a structured decision: start by Detecting the problem to know what needs to be decided, then Estimate impacts to understand the consequences of potential actions. With that understanding, you Move to Choose among options to pick the best path forward. After that, you Identify options to articulate and confirm the specific actions you’ll take, then Do it to implement the chosen course. Finally, Evaluate results to see if the decision achieved the desired outcome and to learn for future decisions. This progression keeps the decision grounded in the problem, informed by outcomes of alternatives, and closed with implementation and review.
