Making Good Decisions in an Uncertain World – Can we Do It?

Presented by: Dr Steve Mackie (Geosim Consulting)

Abstract

Business under-performance in the upstream oil and gas industry, and the failure of many decisions to return anticipated results would say the answer to the question is “no!” But by comparing and contrasting a theoretical decision-making model (how people should make decisions) with a “real world” decision-making model (how people in the oil and gas industry do make decisions) to develop a prescriptive list of how to improve the quality of decisions in practice, specifically as it applies in the upstream oil and gas industry, indicates the answer is …… “possibly yes!”
