Читать книгу Decision Intelligence For Dummies - Pamela Baker - Страница 21

You can start immediately by choosing one of these two strategies:

 Read the book straight through, from cover to cover.

 Find individual chapters that you want to read first. (Each chapter covers an entire subject area so that you can read and understand it independently of the other chapters.) If you have no experience with decision intelligence yet, I recommend starting with Chapter 1, which offers a crash course introduction to the concept.

My advice to you: Be aware that decision intelligence, though it has a firm definition, is used more loosely by several groups. For example, people working in AI most typically use it to mean putting the decision first in programming automation or training machine learning to make better automated decisions at scale. That’s an application rather than a definition, but its common use as such can cause some confusion over the meaning of the term in general reading. For the purposes of this book, decision intelligence is meant by its broader definition and not a single application. However, given its prevalence in AI, the applications there are covered in more detail than other forms of decision implementation. Therefore, I recommend that you read the Parts 1 and 2 first to ensure that you have a good grasp of the framework overall before touching on related topics in other parts or chapters.

Otherwise, experiment with the reading strategy that works best for you. Jump to different sections while you read this book, if that makes sense to you. If necessary, reread a chapter multiple times or look up individual terms in the index. The idea here is for you to come up with your own way to read this book effectively. And don’t forget to keep it nearby for quick-and-easy reference as needed while you work through your first few decision intelligence projects.
