The 5C'S: A Model for Group Decision Making

The 5C'S:A Model for Group Decision Making: This model emphasizes the fact that life is full of major and small decisions. Though many of these decisions involve the individual and how decisions are made in this respect, this method of making individual decisions also affects others because we also tend to involve ourselves in group decisions in the similar way to that of which we make our own decisions as individuals. This model also emphasizes making choices/decisions based on viable past experiences, current individual/group needs/expectations, and thoughts/feelings about the future outcomes of these decisions. For the purposes of this model, these factors for group decision making are similar to those used for individual decision making. The guidelines for making these decisions are rather simple and straightforward, and emphasize our freedom of choice when faced with any life decision. This model really emphasizes ownership & accountability of all in the group in order for the decision to be fair and for the group and individual to achieve success, also relating to individual decision making.
