Question

Which stage of the the decision making process is this group in the midst of?

Answer 1

I think either step 3 or 5.

Answer 2

Answer:

Determining 1 option, 1 action or a specific course of actions from several options or alternatives requires to engage into a cognitive process known in psychology as "decision making".

Some techniques include 7 steps, some other include 5 steps and so on; if we take the 5 step D.M. matrix where step 1. is  Identify Your Goal, 2. Gather Information, 3.Consider the Consequences, 4. Make Your Decision and 5.
