Satisficing

Satisficing is a decision-making approach where a satisfactory solution is chosen rather than the optimal one. Organizations often use this method to save time and resources by eliminating options that require significant effort. However, satisficing can become a cognitive bias if done unintentionally, leading to suboptimal decisions. Awareness of this tendency is crucial to avoid jumping on the first workable solution without considering better alternatives.
