Title: Introduction to Decision Explorer
Host/ Sponsor: SdG Associates
Location/Date: Boston. MA.USA. Wednesday 17 July 2002
Trainer/ Facilitator(s): Dr Silvana di Gregorio,
SdG Associates
Location: John Hancock Conference Centre, Boston, MA.
Description:
This workshop will focus on cognitive mapping, its
application for decision support and the use of
Decision Explorer - the software developed to
support the cognitive mapping process. The ideas
presented in the workshop are based on the research
and writings of Colin Eden and Fran Ackermann (both
of Strathclyde University, Glasgow). Their book,
"Making Strategy: the journey of strategic
management" (Sage 1998), deals in detail with some
of the techniques covered in the workshop.
Decision Explorer (the ideas mapping tool developed
to support cognitive mapping) can be used to
generate "maps" of ideas and to pull them together
to form a coherent picture that will help to
improve understanding of a situation. It is a
"visual thinking" tool, which can be used with
information generated by an individual or a group.
