The goal of Decision Science is to help one make consistently better choices by employing tools that are prescriptive in nature.
The benefits of Decision Science are essentially three-fold:
Systematically focusing on the one or two complex elements of any challenge, one reaches more supportable resolutions.
Describing the essence of a problem, clarifying objectives and determining viable solutions, one forms an objective foundation for making better choices.
Identifying & eliminating poor(er) alternatives, one reaches clear(er) and better choices more readily.
