The five steps in the decision-making process as noted by Little-Stoetzel and Fane (2012) are:
1) identify the need for a decision, 2) determine the goal or outcome, 3) identify alternative actions along with the benefits and consequences of each action, 4) decide which action to implement, and finally 5) evaluate the decision. Testing the action or decision and relying solely upon the possible alternative repercussions of the action—without weighing the benefits—are not part of Little-Stoetzel and Fane's five-step decision-making process.
