The Use of Decision Conferencing within MOD Centre

Abstract

Whilst traditional operational research can and does have a role to play in the annual balance of investment activity undertaken within MOD Centre, it was decided towards the end of 2000 to adopt decision conferencing to aid this process. This paper outlines the rationale for adopting decision conferencing, describes how it has been implemented and identifies the benefits, drawbacks and general issues arising, both cultural and technical, based on a year of practical experience.
