Most of us are fluent in boxes and arrows. We draw process maps.We diagram workflows.We show what happens first, then next, then next. And those diagrams are useful. But when it comes to designing...
In Part 1 of this two-part post, we introduced the challenge of how, despite having created a well-formed CDD, the actions chosen by a decision maker may never actually be taken. Here, we present...
When we build decision models, there is often a particularly satisfying moment. After mapping a complex situation with a causal decision diagram (CDD), the system finally reveals itself, and the decision mapping participants can breathe a sigh...

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 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...
