 It's estimated the average person makes 35,000 decisions each day. Some of these decisions are straightforward, but some of them can be more stressful. In a professional environment, the collaborative projects and discussions can make decision-making more challenging. At IBM Research Ireland, we are creating innovative ways to make difficult decision-making easier. Put simply, it identifies what's being discussed and by whom. It keeps track of the options being considered and why they're being proposed. It then organizes your collective thoughts into a summary that you can use later to guide your final decisions or to explain how the decision was made. I'd like to think of this software tool as a helper which lets you optimize your collective decision-making process by analyzing the possible alternatives and choosing the ones that match the relevant criteria. Imagine a group discussing a decision. It listens, picks out all the information that is relevant to the discussion and classifies each element as a topic, a criterion or an alternative. Next, it organizes the information summarizing the desired criteria, the possible options and outlines how they relate. Using this information a group can update absent group members, identify underdeveloped ideas or options, recall points of consensus and dissension, filter information by speaker, filter or type, inform others about how the decision was made and perhaps most importantly, it can help a group make a well-informed decision. Some decision-making processes are incredibly complex. They involve multiple individuals interacting with each other in order to reach decisions that could contain multiple conflicting criteria and alternatives. The application is a tool that can assist teams involved in these processes to better understand how decision was made and what or was not considered within this process. The application use cases for this technology are limitless really. I mean you could apply this to various domains such as healthcare, engineering processes, financial planning, etc. So the most exciting thing really is to try and get a bird's eye view of the entire decision-making process to help the team better visualize it and help them move closer to making the right decision. 35,000 decisions a day now made simpler. Thank you.
