Читать книгу Decision Intelligence For Dummies - Pamela Baker - Страница 9

The book you’re holding in your hands is a guide primarily for you if you’re a business or finance leader. The book aims to fill you in on decision intelligence, a new framework for making better, more profitable business decisions. It also serves as an introduction for artificial intelligence (AI) and digital decisioning practitioners to take a different approach aimed at making automated decision processes deliver desirable business outcomes. To top it all off, this guide shows you that decision intelligence is not merely a business approach — it’s equally useful when making decisions about your personal life.

This book takes a studied approach to having you reimagine the decision-making, by focusing on a set of discrete tasks you need to accomplish. Here are those tasks, in no particular order:

 Flip the data mining model from data first to data last. You start with a decision aimed at the best possible business outcome and end with the data and the processes you need to bring about that outcome in the real world.

 Rebalance human and machine roles. Decision intelligence calls for a redirection from a data driven to a decision driven organization. This framework clearly casts humans as decision-makers, where AI acts as sidekick, and where data is relegated to a supporting actor.
