DECISING – DECISion science and management engineerING

About

Driven by real world challenges on the frontiers of engineering and management, and grounded on the principles of decision-making and decision-aiding theory, the Decision Science and Management Engineering (DECISING) branch of CEGIST is a multimethodological area that develops methods, models, decision-support tools and knowledge to assist engineering management practice in complex contexts that involve diverse stakeholders, multiple objectives and several sources of uncertainty. At DECISING we follow a collaborative-learning constructivist paradigm integrating socio-technical processes to design sustainable solutions to problems of performance appraisal and value measurement, evaluation and prioritization, resource allocation and budgeting, risk analysis, project management, policy design and strategic choice. Our mission is driven by industry innovation, multidisciplinary research and spin-off partnerships, and is currently focused on (although not limited to) health, energy, and environmental settings, always exploring cross-fertilization with the other areas of CEGIST and international collaboration.
