Overview
About the course
These strategies can characterize the vulnerabilities of such strategies and evaluate trade-offs among them. The aim of RDM is to help decision makers navigate complex problems like resource allocation—problems often plagued with“deep uncertainty.” Or, essentially, scenarios in which stakeholders do not know or can agree on the relationships among actions, consequences, and probabilities such as resource allocation.
In this Robust Decision Making Under Deep Uncertainty course at King's College London, student will gain both a conceptual understanding of RDM as well as provide hands-on experience in conducting RDM analyses. Once complete, students will have an effective tool to help them navigate key decisions within today’s complex policy making environment
