“I’ve enjoyed working in energy, security, financial, marketing, technology, healthcare with industries with executives and investment firms. Decision intelligence (DI) has been a cornerstone of how I navigate complex decisions, investment strategies, and dynamic scenarios. Our DI-enabled platform for growth-driven executives, acquired by a top strategic management firm, enables a new intersection of boardroom and mission control for next-gen decision making.

Detailed in her book Link, Dr. Pratt delivers research and experiences where Decision Intelligence serves to advance a new generation of executive leadership for decades.”

“Lorien is among the smartest, hardest-working people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her incredibly deep technical knowledge is exceeded by her ability to communicate highly complex concepts clearly — and to tie them back to clients’ tactical and strategic challenges. Her pioneering work in machine learning and decision intelligence provides immense value to Quantellia’s clients and multiplies their ability to add value for their own customers.”

Writing about Link: How Decision Intelligence connects Data, Actions, and Outcomes for a Better World, upon which this course is partly based, Vint Cerf says, “Link is an exercise in abstraction, causality, and modeling. It is about discovering and making visible interdependencies in complex systems. The author distills what she has learned in pithy insights. It takes discipline. You won’t regret reading this book.”

“With the proliferation of data, advances in AI algorithms, and new developments in hardware infrastructure, a new era of AI impacting virtually every sector of the economy, politics, and society has arrived. The pace of those innovations has also resulted in notable challenges to adoption of those technologies for many businesses. Combating those challenges involves deep expertise in not just AI and supporting technologies, but in how to help key decision makers navigate the many choices in selecting data and models, to manage complexity, and to interpret the information those techniques are providing in order to take more informed actions. Decision Intelligence (DI) is the emerging practice that delivers on this promise, democratizes access to these cutting-edge technologies, and enables more and more businesses to benefit from the power of AI. Lorien and her team are among the world leaders in delivering DI solutions across many markets, and are unparalleled in their position to deliver the DI solutions that will fundamentally change how AI is used to make better decisions.”

“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.”
