Until now, there has been little practical guidance for organizations to formalize decision-making and integrate their decisions with data. With this book, authors L.Y. Pratt and N.E. Malcolm fill this gap. They present a step-by-step method for integrating technology into decisions that bridge from actions to desired outcomes.
