Societal Decisions: Societal decisions are everywhere and affect everyone.  From from health care and education to public safety and the environment, it takes little more than a flip through a local newspaper to find examples of decisions that impact society.

• Decentralized decision makers and decision making processes
• Many stakeholders with varying degrees of decision-making authority
• Multiple and often conflicting values of varying importance to different stakeholders
• Stakeholder engagement processes are critical and may be even more important to success than traditional decision analysis steps
