In HR, we make decisions about services and approaches many times each day. Any interaction at work may be an opportunity to gather insights, generate ideas or commit to action. And yet, how often have we rushed a decision or, by contrast, lost our window of opportunity because of too much analysis? Do we take time to reflect on key objectives and outcomes, or spend enough time resourcing and analyzing challenges before making decisions that impact our Clients and Vendors?
Data is just data without insights. Dots remain dots until connected to tell stories about business impact. Until we defer judgment and embrace critical thinking, decisions will remain suboptimal.
HR professionals who apply critical and creative thinking skills to develop innovative strategies and alternative solutions get winning business results. Those who are diligent about managing people and process become strong decision-makers. Effective and efficient decision-making increases value perception and lessens frustration in your HR role.
