It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Professor Ron Howard, a pioneer in Decision Analysis. His groundbreaking work revolutionized decision-making, shaping industries from healthcare to engineering and beyond. Professor Howard's legacy extends to the founding of the Society of Decision Professionals (SDP), which continues to carry forward his principles of Decision Quality (DQ) globally. Our Society embodies his passion for thoughtful, ethical decision-making and fosters the spirit of innovation and collaboration he championed. In recognition of his contributions, the Raiffa-Howard Award was established to honor organizational adoption of DQ. "Decision Analysis is the discipline incorporating decision theory, methodology, and professional practice guiding decision-making under uncertainty." – R. Howard, 1983 Read the full announcement here: https://conta.cc/4dzKjZa Feel free to share your thoughts and stories on how Professor Ron Howard’s work in Decision Analysis has impacted and inspired you. #RonHoward #DecisionAnalysis #Legacy #DecisionQuality #EthicalDecisions
