Which step involves assessing outcomes after a choice?

• A. Define the problem
• B. Evaluate the decision
• C. Plan for implementation
• D. Identify alternatives

Answer: (B)

Evaluating outcomes after a choice focuses on checking what happened once an option has been put into action. It involves measuring results against expectations, noting both intended benefits and any unintended effects, and deciding whether the decision achieved its objectives. This feedback lets you determine if you should continue with the plan, adjust it, or try a different approach. In the decision-making sequence, you define the problem, identify alternatives, and plan for implementation beforehand, while evaluating the decision is specifically about post-decision results. The other steps prepare or execute, but they don’t systematically assess outcomes, which is why this is the best choice.
