Training Programs

Adapted from the courses taught at Stanford University, this tailored sequence of four 4-day training programs develops the basic skills needed to improve decision making in your organization.  Each program covers one focal point:  people, process, models, or analysis.  More detail about these topics is provided on Courses.

Participants form cross-departmental and cross-functional teams to become proficient in using state-of-the-art tools and techniques of decision analysis.  Their goal is to enhance the quality of both the process and content of decisions being made throughout your organization.  Learning will be reinforced by working on current decisions facing these managers.

Three levels of development are available:

  • Apprentice -- this certification, available for participants who complete the entire training and development sequence, signifies an ability to deliver professional decision analyses

  • Journeyman -- this recognition, for those who train and develop the skills of apprentices, signifies the ability to lead decision analysis projects under the supervision of a master

  • Master -- this honor, bestowed on those who teach and develop journeymen, signifies a mastery of professional decision analysis and the ability to independently direct significant projects
