The document discusses decision making processes and models. It covers:
1. Steps in systematic decision making including defining the problem, identifying alternatives, choosing a preferred course of action, and evaluating results.
2. Phases and stages of decision making processes including intelligence, design, choice activities, and identification, development, and selection phases.
3. Models of decision making including rational, behavioral, social, and Simon's normative models.
4. Techniques for group decision making and problem solving such as nominal group technique and Delphi technique.
The term problem-solving refers to the mental process that people go through to discover, analyze and solve problems.
A problem can be defined as ‘where there is a need to bridge gap between a current situation and a desired situation”.
Broadly there are three types of problemdiagnostic problems – working out what’s gone wrong and fixing it – for example, a machine or a process isn’t working properly and needs to be fixed or improved design problems – identifying what needs to be done to create a new product or process and planning how to do itcontingency problems – resource planning and working with others to plan and manage a project, such as organising an event.Problems with personal or emotional relationships are not a problem although they often make for interesting scenarios.

Description
Developed within a coherent theoretical and philosophical framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique, empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with value driven commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. ACT uses three broad categories of techniques: mindfulness, including being present in the moment and defusion techniques; acceptance; and commitment to values-based living. Participants in this seminar will learn mindfulness as a way of observing ones experience, in the present moment, without judgment and “defuse,” or distancing oneself from unhelpful thoughts, reactions and sensations. Aside from a didactic approach, there will be video examples, and skill practice. Audience participation is highly encouraged.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3. Decision Making
Decision making is the process of choosing a
course of action for dealing with a problem or
opportunity.
Steps in systematic decision making.
Recognize and define the problem or opportunity.
Identify and analyze alternative courses of action,
and estimate their effects on the problem or
opportunity.
Choose a preferred course of action.
Implement the preferred course of action.
Evaluate the results and follow up as necessary.
4. Phases of Decision making

6. Decision making Process
Certain decision environments.
Exist when information is sufficient to predict the
results of each alternative in advance of
implementation.
Risk decision environments.
Exist when decision makers lack complete
certainty regarding the outcomes of various
courses of action, but they are aware of the
probabilities associated with their occurrence.
7. Decision making Process
Uncertain decision environments.
Exist when managers have so little information on
hand that they cannot even assign probabilities to
various alternatives and their possible outcomes.
Described as a rapidly changing setting in terms
of:
External conditions.
The information technology requirements needed for
analyzing and making decisions.
The people who influence problem and choice
definitions.
8. Types of decisions.
Programmed decisions.
Involve routine problems that arise regularly
and can be addressed through standard
responses.
Nonprogrammed decisions.
Involve nonroutine problems that require
solutions specifically tailored to the situation at
hand.
10. Classical decision theory
Classical decision theory assumes the
manager faces a clearly defined
problem, knows all possible action
alternatives and their consequences,
and then chooses the optimum solution.
11. Behavioral decision theory
Behavioral decision theory accepts the
notion of bounded rationality. It
assumes the manager acts only in
terms of what is perceived about a
given situation, and then chooses a
satisficing solution.

Decision making is characterized by
* limited information processing
* use of judgmental heuristics

21. Judgmental Heuristics
Availability Heuristic: A decision maker’s tendency
to base decisions on information that is readily
available in memory.
Representativeness Heuristic: The tendency to
assess the likelihood of an event occurring based on
one’s impressions about similar occurrences.
The Adjustment Heuristic: In this heuristic, the
decision maker makes a judgment by starting from an
initial value and the adjust to make the final decision.

Management Decision Styles
You solve the problem or make the decision yourself, using
information available to you at that time.
You obtain the necessary information from your subordinate(s),
then decide on the solution to the problem yourself.
You share the problem with relevant subordinates individually,
getting their ideas and suggestions without bringing them together
as a group. Then you make the decision that may or may not reflect
your subordinates’ influence.
You share the problem with your subordinates as a group,
collectively obtaining their ideas and suggestions. Then you make
the decision that may or may not reflect your subordinates’ influence.
You share a problem with your subordinates as a group. Together you
generate and evaluate alternatives and attempt to reach agreement
(consensus) on a solution.

31. Organizational Constraints on
Organizational Constraints on
Decision Makers
Decision Makers
Performance Evaluation
Evaluation criteria influence the choice of actions.
Reward Systems
Decision makers make action choices that are
favored by the organization.
Formal Regulations
Organizational rules and policies limit the
alternative choices of decision makers.
System-imposed Time Constraints
Organizations require decisions by specific
deadlines.
Historical Precedents
Past decisions influence current decisions.
32. Choosing problems
In choosing problems to address, ask and
answer the following questions:
Is the problem easy to deal with?
Might the problem resolve itself?
Is this my decision to make?
Is this a solvable problem within the context of the
organization?
33. Reasons for decision
making failure.
Managers too often copy others’ choices and try to
sell them to subordinates.
Subordinates may believe the manager is
imposing his or her will rather than working for
everyone’s interests.
Managers may focus on the problems they see
rather than the outcomes they want.
Managers use participation too infrequently.
34. Decision making framework
Manager or team leader uses information that he
or she possesses and decides what to do without
involving others.
Variant 1 manager solves the problem or
makes the decision alone.
Variant 2 manager obtains the necessary
information from others and then decides
Manager or team leader consults with others and
allows them to help make the final choice
35. Ethics into decision making
Ways to infuse ethics into decision making.
Develop a code of ethics and follow it.
Establish procedures for reporting violations.
Involve employees in identifying ethical issues.
Monitor ethical performance.
Reward ethical behavior.
Publicize ethical efforts.
36. Ethics into decision making
Morality is involved in:
Choosing problems.
Deciding who should be involved in making
decisions.
Estimating the impacts of decision alternatives.
Selecting an alternative for implementation.
An effective decision needs to solve a problem as
well as match moral values and help others
