DECISION MAKING 250. Hold a Tournament Assign each possible solution to a person. Do a Rock-Paper- 1 Scissors or Odds & Evens tournament to decide the winner. 251. Put on a Trial Have each idea “stand trial.” Select people to be the prosecutor, defense attorney, and judge. Hold 5-minute cases for each idea. 252. Take the Top Have people anonymously rank their top three ideas. Repeat the process a day or two later and take the highest ranked ideas. 253. Survey Solutions Create a survey listing possible solutions and have people (coworkers, friends, strangers) rate them. Include an open text box for people to give feedback or submit their own ideas. 1 My roommate and I used Odds & Evens to determine who got the bigger bedroom when we moved in together after college.
