How can the MECE Principle be used in decision making?

The MECE Principle, which stands for Mutually Exclusive and Collectively Exhaustive, can be used in decision making to ensure that all possible options or scenarios are considered without any overlap. This principle can be applied in various ways, such as creating a Profitability Tree to analyze company profits. By listing all ME and CE items, you can ensure that all potential factors are considered in the decision-making process.
