Review the requirements located in the Brainstorming Discussions Module. 

MDQ STEP TWO: FRAMING THE DECISION

This week's purpose is to discuss step two of the MDQ model, define the three components to HH's decision framework, and narrow down four objectives.

There are three components to a decision frame in the MDQ model: 

• PURPOSE - what does Harry Hannah hope to accomplish by making the decision;
• SCOPE - what to include and exclude in the decision; and
• PERSPECTIVE - Harry Hannah's point of view about the decision, the ways he wants to approach, or others may approach making the decision. Framing is like the zoom feature of the camera. What we include in the picture is the scope of the decision, the angle for the best lighting and view is the perspective and what kind of picture we want, an action or landscape shot, is the purpose.

Directions: 

NOTE:

Please restrict your presentation to the following:

MDQ STEP TWO: FRAMING THE DECISION

1. In your capacity as Harry Hannah, you will be making the final decision. 

2. Therefore, do not make suggestions or recommendations until the final stage of the process.

3. Similarly, do not consider the alternatives, consequences or risks associated with the objectives until the subsequent stages of the decision-making process.

1. By FRIDAY, complete the following:
