Päätöspäätöksiä

Päätöspäätöksiä is a Finnish term that translates literally to "decision decisions." It refers to a situation where a decision is made about how future decisions will be made, rather than making the actual substantive decision itself. This concept can arise in various contexts, including organizational management, policy-making, and personal life.

Essentially, päätöspäätöksiä involves establishing the process, criteria, or authority for making subsequent choices. For example, a committee might decide that all future budget allocations will be determined by a vote of its members, thereby making a decision about the decision-making process. Similarly, a government might establish a commission to decide on the framework for future environmental regulations.

The purpose of engaging in päätöspäätöksiä can be to ensure fairness, transparency, efficiency, or to delegate authority. It can be a strategic move to avoid immediate controversy or to build consensus around a procedural approach. However, it can also be criticized for delaying necessary action or for being an unproductive way to avoid confronting difficult choices. The term often carries a slightly negative connotation, implying a lack of decisive action or an over-reliance on procedural matters.
