The Manager's 7-Question Economic Decision Checklist

Managers make decisions every day about pricing, hiring, budgets, projects, customers, and competing priorities. The difficult part is often not finding more information—it’s knowing which questions matter.

The Manager’s 7-Question Economic Decision Checklist gives you a simple framework for thinking through important business decisions before you act.

Use it to:

• clarify the decision and realistic alternatives

• identify what you’re really giving up

• focus on the costs and benefits that actually change

• anticipate how customers, employees, suppliers, and competitors may respond

• recognize constraints and external risks

• identify the evidence that should make you reconsider your decision

Seven questions. One page. A clearer way to think before you decide.
