S6E04 | How is Decision Science applied? (Part 2: Power Skills)
In this episode of Ask a Decision Engineer, Michelle Florendo explores the human side of decision analysis - what Audrey Del Vescovo calls "power skills." Moving beyond technical frameworks, this episode reveals how decision-making tools create more inclusive conversations, empower diverse voices, and help people work together more effectively. Through insights from practitioners like Andrew Thrift, Walter Cosi, Audrey Del Vescovo, Lee Failing, Samantha Rush, and Reidar Bratvold, Michelle demonstrates that the most valuable aspects of decision science aren't the complex formulas, but the human skills that help us think more clearly and include more perspectives.
