The software tool Decision Making Helper supports and simplifies the decision-making process. \u00a0Decision Making Helper does not help in terms of an oracle or pendulum, which make the decision only on the basis of chance. On the contrary: Decision Making Helper enables in a simple and yet structured way to make a conscious and informed decision.<\/strong> The decision making software offers meaningful support for a confident decision-making process in both private and business matters.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When using the software you will make rational, comprehensive, understandable and clear decisions<\/strong>. You can make decisions and either opt for a single option whether you should take it or not (e.g. Shall I take the step to professional independence?) \u00a0or you can choose between several options in order to find the best option (Which educational institute should\u00a0I choose?) .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n During the decision-making process with Decision Making Helper you will be prompted to list all decision options<\/strong> available as well as the relevant criteria <\/strong>and to value them.<\/p>\n Based on your weighting of the criteria and the <\/strong>rating per decision option<\/strong> the software automatically calculates the best choice\/option available for you. The decision (best choice) will be documented and graphically displayed. Thus, still at a later stage it is comprehensible why you made that decision and if necessary, the decision can be presented confidently and reasonably towards third parties and partners .<\/p>\n Example “Car Purchase”:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/span>When buying a car different vehicles are available to choose from. \u00a0Each car has its advantages and disadvantages (criteria) which influence your decision and make it difficult to make a definite choice.
