Effective Options Appraisal for Decision Making
Options Appraisal
•
Once you have gathered lots of potential ideas and solutions to your issue or challenge
it is important that you use a sound methodology to justify what you decide to take
forward to implementation – Options Appraisal
•
Best Practice is for you to first of all assess different options against your objectives and
use scoring/weightings to take forward options for more detailed consideration
•
Once you have identified the solutions which best meet your objectives, these should
be assessed in relation to benefits and costs and risk in order for you to make a decision
based on evidence
•
It may be that the cost of a solution is too high or too risky to take forward and it could
be eliminated at this stage
