1 Way To Simplify A Complex Decision

A more complex problem brings a couple of alternatives, and choosing from more than 2 options makes it harder for us!

Take the problem of looking for a new office to work from!  The thing is to choose the ideal location.  But first let´s find out what ideal means:

Ideal means you are going to work in a location where it´s easy for you to drive and park your car, where your clients have easy access, where office service is placed closed-by, plus the office and its monthly cost both match your budget.

Here´s how you approach to your solution – use a consequence table and add different measurement scales:

Now you get an idea what choosing from various options means!  It´s important to write it down in detail, just to avoid surprises after signing the contract.

You might consider starting with the dominance of the 2 most relevant items.  It could be the access of your clients and the monthly cost you will have to deal with.  (Hint:  in terms of the monthly costs you have to add the parking costs as well.)  This should give your choice a clear kick at once!

You can use a ranking for your first overview!  ….. which location is still in the game now?

Maybe you have a certain room-style or -design already in mind because you know where you love to work all day – this will influence your choice as well.
