Decision Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence
Competitive Intelligence
Market Intelligence
Political Intelligence
Business Intelligence

For one example, a brief definition of Business Intelligence:

“In its broadest sense, business intelligence is a wide range of applications and technologies which gather, store, analyze and provide access to information that will help decision makers make better business choices. Among others, BI applications include the activities of decision support systems, query and reporting, online analytical processing, statistical analysis, forecasting, and data mining.”

In all, we have made great strides with information intelligence combined with technology. Today, with a SmartPhone, it’s all at your finger tips 24/7. Point is, even with all the intelligence readily available, it seems that the ability and the product of making better and wiser decisions is still in stagnation.

Why can we say that? Consider these decisioning effects…

To name a few: BP Oil Spill (See post dated: 6-30-10), Congress (See all time low poll numbers), Corporate Headlines (Management decision debacles at all levels)…

Scrutinizing these current events, they are generally the product of some kind of a decision. So, from your perspective, are we better off…worse off…about the same?

Again, the purpose of this ZDT Blog is to create awareness of the constant and universal problem of decisioning, and hopefully, to offer more objective and effective solutions as a change agent. But, judging from the current climate and serious condition, we have our work cut out for us.

We definitely need your input and participation.
