Scope
Americans do not engage in a discussion about the systematics of a decision, but instead about who or what is served by a good decision. They break down complexity into its component parts, in order to focus on the essential. Patterns
Time
In the American business context it is quite often better to make a suboptimal decision quickly, than to make a better decision too slow or even too late. Wrong decisions can be corrected. For Americans, a decision making process is a contradiction in terms. People, not processes, make decisions. Patterns
Resources
Due to their abundant resources, Americans value rapid resource aggregation – not conservation – and deployment of resources in order to quickly take advantage of opportunities. Patterns
Analysis
Americans prefer gathering limited, but highly relevant, information, and fast. Comprehensiveness must be justified by its value. Analysis is pragmatic. Americans trust their intuition. Patterns
Risk
Because no analysis can be 100% exact, Americans are willing to take risks, as long as corrective measures are possible. Patterns
