Objectives The aim of the course is to make decision analysis accessible to a broad range of managers and administrators who are not necessarily experts in math and statistics. The primary focus of the training is on the practical management of problems. The training will provide you with practical guidance, regardless of whether your current problem involves reconciling conflicting objectives, decision making under uncertainty, allocating scarce company resources, or finding convincing arguments in a negotiation. Even if you do not closely follow the proposed procedures, the course will help you broaden your view point and enhance your decision making skills. Participants will learn: - To cope in complex situations by structuring and organizing problems;
- To define uncertainty and present it in a comprehensible way;
- To manage multiple objectives and trade-offs;
- To analyze the different perspectives in a logical way and reach consensus when there are several paths to action;
