How can a DIVO ensure they are making sound decisions?

To make sound decisions, a Division Officer (DIVO) must prioritize gathering all relevant information. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of the situation at hand, which includes understanding the context, evaluating potential options, and considering the implications of each choice. By collecting data and insights from various sources, the DIVO can synthesize the information to create a well-informed rationale for their decisions.

Relying solely on instincts may lead to biased or uninformed choices, as instincts do not always account for the complexities of a situation. Similarly, consulting only one team member limits the range of perspectives and information, potentially overlooking critical insights that could come from a more diverse group. Making quick decisions without proper analysis can result in hasty choices that may not consider all consequences, leading to mistakes or oversight of important factors. Thus, the correct approach for a DIVO is to be thorough and diligent in information gathering to support sound decision-making.
