......said "in hindsight" as if to explain away a poor decision / outcome. It's tough to argue with hindsight being 20/20.
Decision making is a process. We're confronted with a problem, an opportunity or some situation. We go about gathering information and then a process of discernment in the hopes of achieving the desired outcome. What's interesting about all of this is the psychology of it all. The way the decision is influenced along the way by our own preconceived ideas and idiosyncrasies. Multiply that by the number of individuals involved in the decision making process and you see where this is headed.
Try as we may it is nearly impossible to maintain objectivity. In the end the decision you reach is tenuous at best. The outcome is predicated upon the commitment to the cause by the various stakeholders.
Clarity of purpose and decisive execution will trump hindsight every time.
