Which step is Step 6 in the described decision-making procedure?

• A. Implement the decision
• B. Make the decision
• C. Define the problem
• D. Evaluate the decision

Answer: (D)

In decision-making, you must check how things turned out to know if the chosen path worked and what to do next. The step that does this is evaluating the decision. It involves looking at the results, comparing them to the goals you set, noticing what went well or what didn’t, and deciding on follow-up actions or adjustments. This is why Step 6 is evaluating the decision: it focuses on the outcomes and learning from them to improve future decisions. Implementing the decision is about carrying out the plan, defining the problem is about clarifying what you’re solving, and making the decision is selecting among options—all steps that come before the evaluation.
