How is the E.C.R.O.M. Model for decision making different to any other way of understanding decision making?
The E.C.R.O.M. Model for decision making is unique in three important ways:
i) The Model is a convenient framework that takes into account the complete range of mental activity modes when a decision is made: cognitive, affective, conative, physical and spiritual. Decisions are therefore described in terms of a balanced contribution from each of these mental energy modes.
ii) The E.C.R.O.M. Model has been created from a blend of both a recognised, academic perspective and from the observed trends and patterns of behaviour of human beings as a whole.
iii) The Model therefore has the advantage of serving people across the full range of education and experience irrespective of culture, ethnicity and gender.
Do I really need all this decision making information? I always think things through before I make a decision. Isn’t this all there is to making a decision?
If you are consistently satisfied with the decisions you make, then that’s absolutely fine… stick to your formula.
However, the E.C.R.O.M Model provides a check list of five different ‘angles’ from which to view the decision to be made or those already made which can often reveal factors, like your beliefs and sub-conscious conditioning, that could strengthen your decision or work against it. It’s like you don’t know what you don’t know.

If you really want to dive right in and get to the nitty-gritty then it’s best to start with the E-Lessons. It is worth having a copy of the book (or audio book) handy because the E-Lessons closely follow the chapters in sequence
Do I need to have read the book before starting the E-Lessons?
You could do both at the same time as the E-Lessons follow the sequence of chapters in the book quite closely.
What on-going support is there if I do the E-Lessons?
When you register for the E-Lesson course, you automatically receive an invitation to become a member of a private Facebook support group of people on the same or similar path of inquiry as you. Here you can ask questions in the group or share you own E-Lesson experience.
There will be additional information via videos and posts.
How long will it take to finish the E-Lessons?
Doing at least one or two lessons per week is recommended as this keeps the ‘learning’ momentum up.
Of course, you can also plan a quiet, E-Lesson retreat for yourself and do them all at once.
How long will it take for any of my questions to be answered when I am doing the E-Lessons?
Should you have an E-Lesson question, we aim at having your answers to you within twenty-four hours through the Facebook group.
It is a special closed group for which you automatically receive an invitation to become a member (Sharing the learning journey with other like-minded people is an important part of being in the group)
