Most decision-making frameworks include problem-solving steps. The WRAP framework described in this book focuses solely on the decision stage. When you have one or several potential solutions, how can you analyze that solution to make the most effective decision? The WRAP framework will be introduced in class. This book gives more context and is optional.
