Kepner-Tregoe

Decision model developed by US management consultants Charles H Kepner and Benjamin Tregoe in the 1960s. Kepner and Tregoe identified three components of effective decision making: quality of the decision of factors to be satisfied; quality of the evaluation of the alternatives; and quality of understanding of what the alternatives can produce. This analysis was used to develop a decision analysis methodology: construct a decision statement in a group environment; identify the objectives, the criteria that can be considered as ‘musts’ or ‘wants’; identify the alternatives; and evaluate the consequences of the choice of outcome.
