Decision Processor

What does it do?

Decisio™ takes your business ‘decisions to be made’ and provides connected AI-optimised decision recommendations by analysing a vast array of potential scenarios. These recommendations can be adopted in full or partially, in which case Decisio™ will make further recommendations to ensure the full impacts are considered across your business, end-to-end.

A range of 'decisions to be made' are supported, covering strategic, tactical and day-to-day operational decisions. Critically these decision recommendations are not made in isolation but are connected, ensuring coordination across planning and execution time horizons. The impact of real-time internal and external business events is also considered to ensure both the short- and long-term implications are considered, and optimal adjustments recommended.

How does it do it?

Decisio™ encapsulates the most advanced whole system thinking, governance, analytics technologies and methodologies, and provides a single interface from which decision-makers across the organisation can define and manage ‘decisions to be made’ based on their individual profiles. The decision intelligence platform enables decision-makers to compare decision recommendations and record adopted decisions, effectively creating a decisions system of record. The result: optimal and controlled decision-making at the heart of your business.

Components that assist in the decision-making process

• The Digital Business Twin makes sense of the interconnectivity within your business across demand, supply and finance, while understanding regulatory, sustainability or other opportunities and constraints (see Insight)
• Composite AI combines machine learning (ML), traditional rules-based approaches, mathematical optimization techniques (prescriptive analytics), natural language processing (NLP) and graph techniques to solve a wide range of business problems
• Connected Decision-making provides decision pathways and ensures decisions are not made in isolation and without considering impacts on other parts of the business and across planning and execution horizons
• Adaptive Planning allows for rapid adjustment of tactical and operational plans in response to changing assumptions, operating conditions or specific internal or external events
• Mass Scenario Analysis and management capability ensures all reasonable decision options are considered and rapidly evaluated, without complexity and solve time being a barrier
• Nested Time Horizons means strategic, tactical and operational planning and execution is connected and implications of real-world events are immediately visible along with the associated course correction
• Data Criticality Evaluation ensures the risks of poor or insufficient data are transparently reflected in decision recommendations
• Governance, Roles & Security features provide the confidence that AI models are adequately callibrated and managed (ModelOps), and that they are secure against unwanted external interference or bias. These features also ensure that the right people have the right levels of control and visibility of decision recommendations and adopted decisions.
