What Is Rule-Based Decision Making?

Apply rule-based decision making deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that rule-based decision making directly affects.

Why Does Rule-Based Decision Making Matter?

Rule-Based Decision Making matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by rule-based decision making can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying rule-based decision making may:

  • uses rule-based decision making deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by rule-based decision making
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what rule-based decision making requires

How to Develop Rule-Based Decision Making

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where rule-based decision making is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
  • observe how a more experienced person handles rule-based decision making and record the specific decisions they make
  • review one completed task and identify where stronger rule-based decision making would have changed the result
