Work With Us
The Foundation is always eager to work with organizations and individual instructors and researchers as collaborators
Education
Our primary mission is to improve the practice of decision making under deep uncertainty (DMDU), and the most important element of that is increasing the presence of DMDU in educational programs at all levels. We actively seek opportunities to provide instructional and course material for educational purposes, for high schools and universities’ use in their curriculum and for organizations that want to use such material for their own internal training. We also partner with institutions that are interested in observing and assessing the effectiveness of various approaches to teaching decision making under deep uncertainty.
Preparing and Sharing Teaching Materials
Our mission includes preparing teaching materials and includes sharing teaching materials, including those developed elsewhere. We will serve as a clearing house for posting teaching materials developed elsewhere.
Case Studies
Improving the practice of decision making under deep uncertainty requires improving the theory of how it can best be done, dealing with different types of problems and different forms of uncertainty. This requires working with organizations of all kinds that are in the process of performing complex decisions involving deep uncertainty or that have recently completed complex decisions involving deep uncertainty. We actively seek opportunities to cooperate with organizations that are facing DMDU and to do case studies with them, in order to understand how DMDU is best handled today and to explore opportunities to extend and create methods for DMDU.
Advising
As a non-profit corporation we do not accept consulting assignments. However, we work with and advise organizations on specific ongoing decision problems, provided that our direct expenses are covered and that we retain the right to publish our findings after review by the organizations that work with us.
We are a registered 501(c)(3) charitable corporation. We are pleased to accept tax-deductible charitable contributions from collaborators, just as we are pleased to accept tax-deductible charitable contributions more broadly, but they are never a pre-condition for collaboration.
