He says, “The definition of that term I like best is: … weighing and examining the reasons for and against a choice or measure; careful consideration; mature reflection…”
Davenport’s column is about people receiving information faster than they can “absorb and react to it”. “We skate on the surface of a vast information ocean, and seldom have the time or interest to penetrate its depths,” he writes.
How can Deliberation help:
- It helps us live better lives
- It helps us make better, effective decisions
- It helps organizations identify decision alternatives, consider them seriously, select one to apply and yield a “reflective decision outcome”
How can Deliberation be advanced in the lives of people?
- Make a conscious choice to disengage occasionally from the information stream
- Everyone should have periods during the day in which they do not receive electronic messages
- Organizations should encourage such periods so that no one will feel the pressure to communicate
- During those times, focus on human relationships and the meaning of life
Thank you, Mr. Davenport, for validating my views in my previous blog entry.
