- Argument for Diamond Model on Problems Source: Lecture Notes (Lecturer: Alan Fine), Innovation & Change , University of Minnesota, 2007. EVIDENCE (minor premise) Low quality decisions are often produced by jumping to solutions without adequate problem formulation, by selecting models that are invalid or too general in addressing the particulars of a case, or that do not permit local adaptation or reinvention. RESERVATIONS Unless the problem, question, model, or solution are pre-determined, one-sided or closed-minded. Unless time or talents prevent analyst from covering all four bases of the diamond model. CLAIM Diamond model promotes learning & understanding of a case or problem. QUALIFIERS Most likely… REASON (major premise) Decision quality and creativity increase by applying problem formulation, model development and testing, and problem solving steps in a consistent, balanced way.
- Steps for Improving Quality & Motivation in Decision Making & Problem Solving
- Insist on data, adopt evidence-based decision making.
- Obtain multiple perspectives and alternatives on question or issue.
- Challenge and debate the assumptions and conclusions, consider improbable or unpopular perspectives.
- Develop strong argument for proposed solution (claim, reasons, evidence, assumptions and reservations).
- Generate solution quality and motivation by involving different stakeholders in stages of planning or problem solving process.
- Reservations
- These steps do not guarantee success. However, they decrease cognitive biases that lead to faulty decisions and increase motivations of relevant stakeholders who are critical for implementing the decision.
