The Decision Analysis Initiative 2010-2015

The Decision Analysis Initiative (DAI) is an extension service managed by the George Boole Foundation. Its purpose is to disseminate useful information and knowledge about decision analysis for promoting innovation through the adoption of appropriate technologies, better techniques and learning in all economic sectors. Extension services are a proactive means of raising awareness, providing opportunities to assess the potential of options for achieving specific objectives with guidance in the identification and demonstration of the most appropriate technologies and techniques and how to apply them.
