10 DATT Tools

Tool 1-Consequences and Sequels
It is critical to look a head to see the possible consequence of an action, plan, decision, or rule. You will see future repercussions and possibilities.

Tool 2-Plus, Minus, Interesting
This tool will help you identify the positive and the negative plus the possibilities before it is too late.

Tool 3-Recognise, Analyse, Divide
Break a larger concept or situation into more manageable parts. Getting the "core" of a situation make it easier to deal with.

Tool 4-Consider All Factors
Explore all factors related to an action, decision, plan, judgement, or conclusion, not just the immediately obvious. Rarely do we deal with simple issues and rarely are they singular in dimension.

Tool 5-Aims, Goals, Objectives
Focus directly and deliberately on the intention behind actions. You will prevent "drifting".

Tool 6-Alternatives, Possibilities, Choices
Give yourself the benefit of alternative; then you have choices.

Tool 7-Other People's Views
Gain the power of broad vision by exploring what other people's (very different) perspectives might be.

Tool 8-Key Values Involved
Your values powerfully influence your thinking. The whole point of thinking is to help us attain what we value. Make sure your actions fit your values.

Tool 9-First Important Priorities
Priorities guide your actions, choices and decisions. Get the right things done - target deliberately what is most important and what must be done first.

Tool 10-Design/Decision, Outcome, Channels, Action
Direct attention to the outcome of the thinking and action that follows. You will be confident in implementing your decisions.
