Boost Your Decision-Making Outcomes With Decision Science - A Four-Day Hands-On Workshop: In-Person, Ottawa ON, Fall 2026

Boost Your Decision-Making Outcomes with Decision Science – A Four-Day Hands-On Workshop

Workshop Description and Details

The new field of decision science combines an understanding of human decision making with an appreciation for how data-derived facts can enhance the decision-making process. What does this look like in practice? In this four-day workshop we’ll explore the components of decision making, consider how humans naturally make decisions, and then look at how each decision-making component can be further enhanced and supported by data-derived knowledge. Days one and two will introduce key decision intelligence concepts, supported by group exercises and discussion. On days three and four participants will carry out a series of hands-on lab activities to put all of this into practice.

This workshop is for decision makers and decision supporters (analysts, advisors, subject matter experts) who want to understand how data can enhance decision making, and improve their decision intelligence. Participants do not need to have any technical knowledge to participate in the workshop. The focus of the workshop is on decision intelligence, and how data products like facts and knowledge feed into data-supported decision making. The workshop is not intended to improve technical data-related skills.
