To me, the greatest overlap can be seen as the least resistance as well, can't it be? I am still unsure to really fully get the difference. At the end of the day, I will make one single choice but I will choose the one with the least resistance (or the maximal overlap) with me. Or maybe, the difference lies in the fact that in the systemic system, one doesn't choose, but give one's resistance score to all options. Did I get it?
For the living place choice, we actually used something similar to my voting decision making strategy. We defined a set of criteria and converged on the place that had the maximum overlap with all requirements. At the end of the day, this may not be systemic as well.
Maybe you try this method on your work when you have difficult group decisions to make? I would be so excited about real results!
We are working in small collaborations of 3-5 people. We never arrived at making any difficult decisions. We usually end with a consensus on what to do and who does what, and we just follow all options without choosing :)
Yes! You got it :)
Good for your working team that you find consensus. Happy to hear that. If you may ever come into a situation where this formal method could be of use, I hope, you'll remember it.
I am about to present the concept in my work environment. I am curious about the outcome. The team will give feedback if they are interested in a presentation.
Have a good day:)
Please let us know how it will be perceived. I am quite curious!
