  • 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻: 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘆! Last week, the Society of Decision Professionals (SDP) ran a poll asking: 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏-𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈? 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚎’𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚞𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚍: 🔹 Decision Framing: 66% 🔹 Generating Alternatives: 21% 🔹 Uncertainty Analysis: 13% Why is Decision Framing so impactful? It’s the critical first step that aligns teams, clarifies purpose, and ensures the right problem is being solved. Skipping it often leads to misalignment, wasted time, or even poor decisions. And Uncertainty Analysis? While essential in many contexts, it ranked last. Is it underappreciated, misunderstood, or simply less relevant in certain cases? 🎉𝓒𝓸𝓷𝓰𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓾𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼 to Laurent Pianelo, Ph.D., the winner of our drawing for poll participants! 🎉 We’d love to hear from you!
