ON THE JOB ACTIONS
Knowledge
Look out and/or ask for updates about the organisation’s business and financial goals, certainly for any that affect your direct area.
Cost Information
Know the high-cost items so that you can use materials and resources wisely. Build cost consideration into how you make decisions and aim to balance cost with the need for service delivery.
Balanced Decisions
Use a Decision Grid described in Problem Solving and Decision Making to list out the parameters involved in a complex decision, weight them, and compare options. This helps you to be rational and to explain your decisions to others and/or involve them in the decision.
