Mission Statement
The purpose of the Decision Analysis Working Group is to advance the state of the practices, education and theory of Decision Analysis and its relationship to other systems engineering disciplines.
What is Decision Analysis?
Decision analysis is a philosophy and a social-technical process to create value for decision makers and stakeholders facing difficult decisions involving multiple stakeholders, multiple (possibly conflicting) objectives, complex alternatives,
important uncertainties, and significant consequences
Goals
- Expand and promote the body of knowledge of Decision Analysis and its benefits within the Systems Engineering community.
- Explore emerging technologies and methods for informing and making decisions
- Develop and refine guidance and best-practices for decision analysis
- Encourage use of decision analysis techniques to structure decision making at any organizational level
- Increase awareness, reach, and membership of the DAWG and its content
Outcomes
- Updated INCOSE Decision Management Section of SE Handbook, and SeBoK
- Created “Trade-off Analytics: Creating and Exploring the System Tradespace”
- Delivered tutorial on Decision Analysis and Trade Studies at the previous IS
- Working on Decision Analysis Data Model
