OughtWe decision app – illustrated with a pinch of fun, and a small example

Introducing the OughtWe decision app

To illustrate the key processes, this blog uses only three criteria (head, heart, gut). OughtWe – as an Expert System – uses a set of default criteria developed across the disaster management sector over decades.

Like these four different versions, even binary choices can be nuanced

Establishing context – naming and describing the decision to be made, identifying options and their rationales, generating decision criteria and attributing weightings to them, applying the decision criteria to evaluate each option, and taking the preferred option into a plan.
