Feature Update: We have recently aligned our Financial Business Case (FBC) module with the Technology Business Management (TBM) taxonomy. The FBC module provides the capability to easily: enter cost and benefit forecasts, calculate key financial metrics (e.g., return, ROI, IRR, and payback period); discount future cash flows; and visualize the results. It also allows setting of hurdle rates and provides a lookback capability to track changes over time.

Definitive Business Solutions specializes in delivering projects and programs, facilitating business and techology decisions, and manging risks.

Definitive Pro helps individuals and groups make complex, multi-criteria decisions. It uses the leading theory in multi-criteria decision-making (the analytic hierarcy process), employs a state of the art mathematical programming solver (Gurobi), and is hosted on Amazon Web Services.

Try the Definitive Pro Caddie Selector! (Be a beta tester)

Just yesterday, we saw Jon Rahm ignore the advice of his caddie Adam Hayes, costing himself a chance to win $2.2M at The Players Championship. This is a fresh example of how the role of the caddie has evolved from a bag carrier to a strategic partner who provides a range of services -- from club selection advice to motivational and psychological coaching. Caddies have been credited with helping golfers win tournaments, and even propelling their partner to new levels of greatness.

To try the Definitive Pro Caddie Selector:
1) Use your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, and click: https://www.definitivepro.com/mobile/participate.aspx
2) Enter session code: M2112
3) Enter your email address (so we can email you the results).
4) Click “Start”

Just respond to ten comparisons of two criteria (i.e. one versus the other), and your weighted priorities and a list of caddies will be provided to you. The highest scoring caddie will be the best fit for you. You can view the results and/or have them emailed to you by clicking on the email envelope icon. Have fun, and tell us what you think!

While AI excels at a number of specific and niche applications, researchers and engineers ultimately want to move toward generalized artificial intelligence capable of learning, intuiting, and adapting like the human brain.

For AI, the Human Brain Is the Goal and the Solution Watch the full ESC Boston 2018 keynote by Anatoly Gorshechnikov, co-founder and CTO of Neurala, as he discusses “catastrophic forgetting” and the need to look at the human brain to solve issues plaguing artificial intelligence.

Better predictions matter when you make decisions in the face of uncertainty, as we all do constantly. Here, the author introduces a simple decision-making tool called the AI Canvas that begins with a prediction. Its interesting to see their recognition of the role that human judgment plays in it.
