The decision-making process is about enabling us to take more informed decisions with more graceful processes. The process aims at empowering the team to take ownership of their decisions
There are several reasons why you might want to include some people or the whole team in the process like:
Learning about other perspectives in order to be better informed.
Improve the proposal of a decision by including the people affected
Taking one more step that your proposal will land with the people who will be using it
It is recommended to ask yourself the following questions to decide, whether to include more people in the process than just yourself:
What is the scope of the decision?
Who is affected by the decision, both directly and indirectly, internally and externally?
Will the decision have a significant impact on the work or “oikos experience” of others? If yes, who are those people?
Could it help to involve the people affected in order to increase the adoption of the changes which result from the decision?
Which perspective haven't you considered yet, but could add a lot?
No. you have to consider the objection and at least clarify why, given the case, you still won’t adjust your proposal/would like to move ahead with it. If the person objection still holds a lot of resistance, he or she should get involved in further shaping the proposal with you.
