Making Better Decisions: Tools for Decisions with Multiple Objectives (On Demand)

In this course, students learn to use a systematic process to organize information and analyze decisions with multiple objectives. Participants will learn to gather and structure relevant information, develop models of the decision-maker’s preferences, use those models to identify the best alternative, and evaluate the sensitivity of the result.
