Chapter December 2020 Meeting
Two Sides of a Coin - The Science and the Human in the Loop
A conversation where both the so-called soft-side of decisions (the human in the loop, cognition) and the hard science/modeling (decision science) are both seen as necessary contributors and complementary to the outcome.
Presenter/Facilitator: Dr. John R. Black, President of Aragon National Inc., a consulting business specializing in insight generation and related research. A doctoral researcher in the area of data visualization and critical thinking skills, John is currently exploring how sensemaking and complexity affects decision-making in cultures such as law enforcement and the military. John will be using excerpts from his two presentations to the Society for Police and Criminal Psychologists (SPCP) given this month. |

Superforecasting
Making forecasts is critical to good decision-making. In his 2015
book,
Superforecasting: The Art and
Science of Prediction, Philip Tetlock describes how he
created a team of
"superforecasters" that beat intelligence professionals in their field
of making predictions for world events.

Virtual tools for remote DQ engagement
Even before the pandemic required us to work remotely, the tools and
platforms available for remote engagement were improving and becoming
more widely used. Helping groups reach a high level of decision
quality is challenging even when we're in the same room. But with the
right tools and right approaches, remote engagement can be more
effective rather than less. Troy will demonstrate some of the tools
and approaches that SDG uses, and then we’ll discuss alternatives and
best practices that others have tried or experienced.
