Decision Sciences

Every day, leaders make thousands of decisions that shape their organizations - yet most have no repeatable system for making those decisions well. Decision Sciences: Making Better Decisions changes that. Written for healthcare executives and applicable across every industry, this book delivers a complete, practical operating system for organizational decision-making. The five-phase Decision Sciences Framework guides leaders from clearly framing a problem through disciplined assessment and accountable governance to execution and institutional learning. Grounded in the best of behavioral economics, cognitive psychology, and organizational theory, from Kahneman and Tetlock to Edmondson, and brought to life through the compelling story of physician-executive Jim Johnson and data scientist Susan Myles, this is not another collection of tips or thought experiments. It is a structured methodology with tangible artifacts, governance tools, and built-in accountability, designed for leaders who want to ensure good analysis isn't lost in bad decisions. If you have ever left a high-stakes meeting wondering how the decision was actually made, Decision Sciences is the book you've been looking for.
