About EDPN
The European Decision Professionals Network (EDPN) provides a platform for Decision Professionals in both business and government who aim to promote high quality decision making within their own or their clients’ organisations. EDPN is the first European network with a focus on decision making and the practical applications of Decision Analysis methodologies and the Decision Quality concept.
Objectives
The goal of this first EDPN conference is to kick-start a community of Decision Professionals across Europe who believe in the power of decision quality as a competitive differentiator. The conference will bring together practitioners and experts in decision analysis across industry, academia and government, giving them the unique opportunity to exchange their practical experience, knowledge and latest insights in this field with other decision professionals.
Programme
The two-day conference programme consists of a mix of inspiring presentations and an interactive programme. Throughout the conference, the focus will be on the question of how well major investment and strategic decisions are made, and how this helps organisations to compete in the marketplace, or contributes to good public administration. The associated concept of Decision Quality as a competitive strength will be a key discussion topic.
