Decision Quest (DQ) supports iOS 7 and later. The DQ app enables decision-makers (executives in organizations as well as individuals) to apply the concepts of Decision Quality to improve their decision making.
The quality of a decision depends on the following six dimensions:
1) Defining the appropriate frame (clear purpose, conscious perspective, and defined scope)
2) Generating creative and doable alternatives (significantly different, comprehensive, and compelling alternatives)
3) Using meaningful, and reliable information (understanding the relevant and material information including uncertainties; assessing uncertainties by using reliable sources and avoiding typical biases)
4) Applying clear values and trade-offs (the explicit statement of our wants in terms of decision criteria and the trade-off values among decision criteria)
5) Logically correct reasoning (sometimes this requires a model)
6) Commitment to action (gaining motivation and commitment to action from the decision-maker(s) and key stakeholders)
The DQ app allows users to keep track of the decision-maker(s) involved in a certain decision, the associated decision deadline and the progress on each of the six dimensions of Decision Quality.
The DQ app users can access a list of guiding questions and a detailed tutorial to understand the concepts of Decision Quality and to facilitate the application of the concepts to improve decision making.
