Visual Decision Process Design, Automated Generation of Recommendations and Supporting Logic

Standardize and Automate Your Key Decision Processes

If your organization participates in complex decision processes, you are probably relying on a group of people using a variety of methods and tools as well as "conventional wisdom" to analyze problems and make recommendations.  The resulting lack of decision knowledge automation can lead to:

• Lengthened cycle time to make decisions
• Inconsistent decisions based on variations in individual knowledge and preferences
• Unclear rationale to support decisions

The Apprentice Decision Modeler is the ideal tool for formalizing the decision logic of your experts and putting that thought process in action throughout your organization.

Decision Apprentice

The Apprentice Decision Modeler, supported by our proprietary knowledge capture process, helps you codify your decision rules and business practices. This unique visual knowledge capture software can then generate a custom Decision Apprentice to be used for making decisions consistently throughout your organization.  The Decision Apprentice acts as a framework for gathering relevant information and visually showing the current 'state' of the decision making process.  When information collection is complete, the outcome of the decision is clearly shown and a complete summary of the decision logic can be generated automatically in a Microsoft Word^TM document.

When Is Decision Configuration Appropriate?

Apprentice Systems' decision modeling solution is most appropriate for complex decision processes that are highly repetitive, executed by many people with varying skill levels, based on rules that change over time, yet require consistent execution. This consistent execution is especially important in highly regulated environments.

Often, simple yes/no answers are reached by pursuing a very complex line of reasoning. Examples of this type of decision include:

• Is the individual/company in compliance?

• Is the defendant guilty?

• Is this a good acquisition?

• Is this a good retail site?

• Is this idea patentable?

• Is this a good addition to our product line?

• Is this a high potential account?

Using the Apprentice Decision Modeler and Decision Apprentice, you can ensure consistent decision execution backed up with flawless documentation of the thought process used to reach each decision.  Reach the right answers, support them, and do it all faster and easier through our automation tools.
