Eight-week course starts as soon as minimum student count have registered, at a date and time to be agreed to between all students, to accommodate their time zones.
- Do you make or support complex decisions?
- Do you want to maximize the investment in your data, analytics, knowledge management, and/or ML/AI to lead to better outcomes?
- Would you like to drive your career success by learning Decision Intelligence: the discipline that helps you answer the question: “If I take this action, in this context, what will be the outcome?”
By 2023, more than 33% of large organizations will have analysts practicing decision intelligence

“Before taking this course, my analytics team wasn’t giving me data in the form that I needed to make good decisions. I would pore over their charts and graphs, and slice and dice the data in their tools, but when it came down to actually making a decision, it was often a matter of politics more than anything else. Now I know how to talk to them: in terms of outcomes I wish to achieve and actions I have to choose. ”
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Structure decision conversations around desired outcomes (financial and / or non-financial) and actions to achieve them.
- Use state-of-the-art collaborative tools to map AI, knowledge, data, and more into decisions.
- Find simplicity and order amongst the confusion of new data, tools, and complex decisions.
- Provide value to your data management projects by guiding them towards the 10% of data that has 90% of the value.
- Identify integrations between organizational silos.
- Earn greater trust and credibility for your team.

What is Decision Intelligence?
Decision intelligence is the discipline of turning information into better actions at any scale.

First Bank and Trust
“Dr. Pratt accelerated our machine learning journey with humor, intelligence, confidence, and examples that made sense. She really made the concepts accessible to non-data scientists, and we are delighted at the outcome of building our first ML model, and have the confidence to continue learning, building,
and growing in this field. We found value in the 2-day intensive workshop to put all the pieces together.”
—Chris Kreul, CTO, and Kelly Crevier, Business Intelligence Manager

“Lorien is a powerful thinker able to bring quantification to concepts that grow our understanding of complex systems …[she] cuts through the muddle and identifies the stepping stones for progress. She can really listen, ask pertinent and incisive questions and then reflect back what you said so that you understand what you described better than you did before the conversation began.”
