Better knowledge, better decisions
|
We help organisations improve their thinking by bringing to bear our unique range of methods, tools and experience.
"Epistemology" is the study of knowledge. As applied epistemologists, we apply insights from disciplines such as cognitive science, philosophy and statistics to practical challenges within knowledge-based organisations. We work with many different organisations, including security agencies, large corporations, universities, medical teams, associations, and elite sports teams. The diversity of our experience helps us develop creative and robust solutions in collaboration with our clients. |

Every organisation has processes for making judgements of various kinds, but often these processes are sub-optimal. We can review your processes, from cognitive and epistemological perspectives, and recommend improvements.

Are key decisions in your organisation made as well as they can be? We can help improve decision making in a number of different ways, including training, facilitating, and decision analysis. We specialize in the use of decision mapping methods for deliberative decisions, but have expertise in a range of other methods.
