Decision Indicators
Early indicators that intuitive judgment may be outweighing analytical validation include:
Decisions are approved before supporting evidence has been fully evaluated.
Quantitative analysis is performed primarily to confirm existing opinions.
Teams rely heavily on personal experience during unfamiliar situations.
Independent validation receives limited attention.
High-impact decisions proceed without structured analytical review.
Monitoring these indicators helps organizations combine professional intuition with objective analysis, resulting in more reliable and defensible decision-making.
