  • Strong decisions start with thoughtful framingโ€”and what better way to learn than from one of the best? Thank you to Christa Roemkens, longtime SDP member and retired Chevron decision science expert, for bringing practical insights to the University of Houston Student Chapterโ€™s workshop. Weโ€™re proud to see experienced practitioners and students learning together! #DecisionQuality #DecisionMaking #SDP

    A great evening of learning and applied decision-making with the Society of Decision Professionals โ€“ University of Houston Student Chapter. Our recent Facilitating a Framing Session workshop gave students the opportunity to learn how strong decisions begin long before choosing a solutionโ€”by defining the right problem, structuring the decision, aligning stakeholders, and navigating uncertainty using Decision Quality principles. A huge thank you to Christa Roemkens for sharing her decades of experience in Decision Analysis and for making the session practical, engaging, and relevant to real-world decisions. Weโ€™re also grateful to everyone who joined us, asked thoughtful questions, and brought great energy to the workshop. Weโ€™re excited to keep creating opportunities for students to learn directly from experienced decision professionals and put these frameworks into practice.

  • โ€œOne better partnersโ€™ meeting at a time.โ€ We love that! ๐Ÿ‘ Weโ€™re delighted to welcome Iryna Nikitina, a new SDP member whose two decades of experience inspired Decision-Making in Law Firms. Her passion for turning real-world observations into better decision practices is exactly what brings our community together. Welcome to SDPโ€”we look forward to learning with you! #DecisionQuality #DecisionMaking #SDP

    Some decisions take twenty years to make. This one took a click, and it still feels like the logical conclusion of a long argument. I am honoured to join Society of Decision Professionals (SDP) | A Great Decision Every Time, the World Forum on Decision Making. It is a global community of practitioners from industry, government, academia and consulting, united by one stubborn conviction: decision quality is a discipline, not an accident. For two decades I have been sitting at law firm partnership tables, watching brilliant people make decisions and, more often, watching them carefully avoid making them. That observation became my book, Decision-Making in Law Firms. Joining SDP feels like walking out of the courtroom and into the laboratory: a place where the questions Ive been asking about partnerships are asked rigorously, systematically, and without anyone billing in six-minute increments. The Achievements & Recognition section on my SDP profile is already calling me to write my new professional chapter :) "A great decision every time" is the SDP's vision. Mine is slightly more modest: one better partners meeting at a time. #DecisionMaking #DecisionMakinginLawFirms #DecisionQuality #LawFirmManagement #Partnership

In his keynote, Steve will take a closer look at the concept of risk attitudes and their role in decision making under uncertainty. Understanding how risk attitudes influence the way we evaluate uncertain outcomes can help decision makers better recognize what is shaping their choices โ€” and have more meaningful conversations about risk. ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ธ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐˜‚๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป?

  • Most organisations respond to decision failures by adding more process. Fisher Improvement Technologies asks a different question: what is it about the human and organisational system that made that failure predictable โ€” and preventable? That framing sits at the heart of Human & Organisational Performance, and it is exactly the kind of thinking DQ Europe 2026 was built for. We are glad to recognise Fisher Improvement Technologies as a Gold Sponsor of DQ Europe 2026. Rob Fisher and Matt Schlapfer will be bringing this work to the conference stage in Amsterdam โ€” a session worth clearing your schedule for. 9โ€“12 November 2026 | Amsterdam Register: https://lnkd.in/gA5zfnHP #DQEurope2026 #DecisionQuality #DecisionScience #HumanPerformance #OrganisationalResilience
