In today’s blog (or was it yesterday’s), N S Ramnath was mentioning about the fallible of human mind, like how once an idea gets into our head we hold on to it in a committed way and refuse to change the point of view and stuffs like that. He was also mentioning a couple of tools, like six hats and PMI, which we can use to get rid of this kind of thinking. In my opinion, to take complex rational decisions, one can use SWOT analysis also, though this is mostly used in business scenarios. I have used PMI and SWOT many times to clear my mind and see the facts before I took major decisions in life. And the best part is I don't have any grudges or felt sorry for the decisions I have taken. So I would recommend others, who might be interested, to use SWOT and PMI.
