Software to Help Users Think
What does software do for us? Roughly speaking, it fits into two categories: The software industry is pretty good at #1: to build good “doing” software, it’s helpful to think about how people do...

Causal inference is an important and active area of artificial intelligence research today. Indeed, no less than Turing award winner Yoshio Bengio lists causal reasoning as a top priority, as does his co-Turing award...
Every once in a while, in every career, we’re faced with a completely new situation, whether it’s choosing a startup idea, pricing a new product, deciding where to live, or selecting a company to...
I recently attended Quantellia’s Getting Started with Decision Intelligence training, where we learned to differentiate between a Causal Decision Diagram (CDD)—a key component of Decision Intelligence (DI)—and a process map (PM). The following is...
This is my final post in this series, where I pull everything together. In Connecting Decisions to Data I introduced a Decision Intelligence case study where a manager needs to make three decisions about...
In my prior post, Simulating Actions to Outcomes: The Opportunity Envelope, I showed you a graph of the simulation result for the First Manufacturing Run case study. In this post I’ll show you how...
In my Connecting Decisions to Data post I introduced a Decision Intelligence case study where a manager needs to make three decisions about a new product’s first production run. Then I identified three decision...
In this post I discuss how Decision Intelligence differs from the current best practices in decision support epitomized by Business Intelligence solutions. My particular focus will be on why the typical “data-to-dashboard” Business Intelligence...
In the prior post I used a circled red question mark to label some of the decision model elements to indicate that they were missing one of the pieces of information needed to define...
In the last post, I introduced a case study for a product manager. Here, I’ll show you the basics for how to build the corresponding decision model and introduce the Causal Decision Diagram (CDD)...
