What Problems Do DDM Products and Services Solve?
Because It’s Never Been Harder to Make Good Decisions…
Complexity of Decision
Research indicates that individuals face increasingly complex decisions in their personal lives, with the average complexity rating of decisions rising by 15-20% over the past decade.
Number of Factors to Consider
In professional and personal decision-making, individuals often weigh multiple factors before arriving at a decision. Research shows that the average number of factors considered in complex decisions has increased by 20-30% over the past 10 years.
Amount of Information Processed
The amount of information processed when making difficult decisions has also increased due to technology. Studies indicate that individuals now process up to 40-50% more information when faced with complex decisions compared to previous 2 decades.
In our increasingly more complex world, information and stress overwhelms, our abilities to make decisions…
Decision Making Fatigue:
Complex decisions can lead to decision-making fatigue, reducing cognitive abilities and increasing the likelihood of decision errors. Research suggests that individuals experience decision fatigue after making complex decisions, with a 25-30% decrease in cognitive performance observed.
DDM tools provide focus and assistance to make the best decision while minimizing wasted effort, and energy used.
Impact of Uncertainty:
The uncertainty associated with difficult decisions can lead to increased stress and anxiety. Surveys indicate that individuals who struggle with complex decisions report up to a 30-40% increase in feelings of uncertainty and doubt.
Uncertainty can cause the brain to to return to the habits and patterns that are no longer working. This is why breaking a habit is so difficult.
Effect on Decision Confidence:
The difficulty of a decision can impact an individual’s confidence in their choice. Research suggests that individuals are less confident in their decisions when faced with complexity, with a 15-20% decrease in decision confidence observed in complex decision scenarios.

Time Wasted Procrastinating on Decision-Making:

Controlling the Risks
Individual Freedom
Our online courses, blog posts, and ebooks make it clear that decision-making is a personal process. The individual is always free to make a decision or not. DDM tools support the individual as they work through the decision-making process to select a solution that aligns with their values and is right for them at the time. Unlike risky A.I.-based decision-making tools or probability-based spreadsheets, DDM tools do not recommend a solution or tell the person what decision they should make. It is craziness to allow a machine to tell you what to do. Whatever the machine, it will not be as powerful as your brain.
Neuroscience based, trusted approach
We have done the hard work of putting it all together so that your work of learning to make better decisions is faster, affordable, and more manageable. The neuroscience and experience that is the foundation of the DDM approach are well accepted and powerful. The eBook, audiobook, website, online courses, and web-based tools are available right now. Our consulting services are tested, make a real impact while saving time and money, and can be scheduled today.
Available anytime you are ready
The biggest risk is that you won’t get involved and will continue to struggle to make decisions. How much time and resources are wasted each day overthinking daily routine decisions? You have aspirations and needs that are going unmet. They seem overwhelming because they require more than just underthinking and guesswork. You can help your loved ones make better decisions and have more of what matters to them with less stress. Without knowing how to make better decisions, your loved ones miss your support. The most significant risk is that you will continue to put off learning to make better decisions until tomorrow, next month, or maybe for years.
