Decision support for better choices

ASU’s Decision Theater integrates diverse, complex models and datasets to help stakeholders see — literally — the consequences of decisions through stateof-the-art visualization.

The decisions we make today will determine whether our global future is one of sacrifice, or one of opportunities. But how do we make good decisions around challenges that are global, complex and interconnected?

The Global Futures Laboratory brings together researchers, policymakers, industry stakeholders and community leaders and connects them with advanced analytics, modeling, integration and visualization tools to help them understand and explore solutions to complex issues.

Through these tools, stakeholders can combine multiple data sets and simulate the effects of different decisions under a variety of conditions. This allows them to see the effects of those decisions before they happen.
