The economic crisis of 2008-2009 was a transformational
event: it demonstrated that smart people aren't as smart as they
and the public think. The crisis arose because a lot of highly
educated people in high-impact positions-- political power
brokers, business leaders, and large segments of the general
public--made a lot of bad decisions despite unprecedented
access to data, highly sophisticated decision support systems,
methodological advances in the decision sciences, and guidance from
highly experienced experts. How could we get things so wrong? The
answer, says J. Davidson Frame in Framing Decisions: Decision
Making That Accounts for Irrationality, People, and
Constraints, is that traditional processes do not account for
the three critical immeasurable elements highlighted in the book's
subtitle-- irrationality, people, and constraints.
Frame argues that decision-makers need to move beyond their
single-minded focus on rational and optimal solutions as preached
by the traditional paradigm. They must accommodate a decision's
social space and address the realities of dissimulation,
incompetence, legacy, greed, peer pressure, and conflict. In the
final analysis, when making decisions of consequence, they should
focus on people - both as individuals and in groups.
Framing Decisions offers a new approach to decision
making that gets decision-makers to put people and social context
at the heart of the decision process. It offers guidance on how to
make decisions in a real world filled with real people seeking real
solutions to their problems.
