January 7, 2015 Business

Making decisions as a business owner is a whole different ball game to making decisions as an employee, and business owners can stand to lose a lot on the back of a bad decision. To ease the pressure Alpha Gamma Solutions have provided their top tips for better decision making.

As a business owner, there is a lot riding on even the smallest decisions. Good, well thought out decisions can help propel a business forward and allow opportunities for growth and development. To be successful businesses must take risky decisions in order to remain innovative and keep up with changing markets, otherwise they risk failing into obscurity and will not be able to compete with the waves of younger and fresher businesses entering the market on almost a daily basis. The amount of risk involved in business can often result in businesses owners making poor decisions out of a fear of failure which can have serious repercussions and perhaps even destroy a business altogether. Bad business decisions can restrict growth and in some cases, isolate customers should the decision effect the direction of the business or eliminate the initial core values that the business was built from. Sales and marketing firm Alpha Gamma Solutions have seen first-hand how good business decisions can help a business to develop. The Leicester based start-up has made a number of strategic decisions since their establishment which has allowed them to grow their business and gain a positive reputation across their industry.

To help new business owners take the stress out of decision making Alpha Gamma Solutions have provided a guide to the most common types of business decisions and offered advice on how to tackle them.

Giants

These are big, life altering decisions. The best way to deal with giants is for business owners to allow themselves enough time for a proper structured decision making process, with enough time to weigh up all the contributing factors and repercussions as this will process will often reveal new opportunities and perspectives.  Even if their appears to be no time to make this type of decision, business owners should always fight for more time as there is often a lot at stake, chances are there will be more time available than they think.

Quick decisions on home ground

These are decisions that must be made quickly but fall into a category that the business owner is knowledgeable in. By relying on their past experiences and knowledge business owners are usually able to make these decisions based on their gut feeling.

Quick decisions away from home

When it comes to an area in which business owners lack knowledge and experience, it’s wise for them to take their time so that they can collect enough information to make a confident decision.

Decisions with too much time

Too much time can cause a business owner to doubt themselves and back track into making the wrong choice. If a business owner makes a decision before their time is up its often wise for them to stick to their guns and act as soon as they’re ready.
