More and more, resource management agencies are turning to
Structured Decision Making (SDM) as a tool to increase the transparency and
rigor of their public policy process. This course introduces students to the
philosophy and methods of SDM, facilitates discussion of shared experiences
with SDM, and presents practical tools and advice for making SDM work. We also
explain the principles behind Adaptive Management (AM), which is a special case
of SDM where reducing uncertainty is a key management objective. The course is
aimed at early career management agency staff and graduate students interested
in pursuing a career in resource management.
