I created this blog in 2009, with a very specific
purpose: to share the initial concepts
of Decision Requirements Analysis and get some feedback prior to writing a book
on the subject. It served its
purpose; it forced me to formalize the
central ideas, and I had some very useful input from a number of people. Knowledge Automation was eventually
published in 2012. I now have enormous
respect for authors; if I had known how much work was involved in producing
even that slim volume I might never have started. If you are one of the select few who have
actually purchased a copy, many thanks.
In Knowledge Automation I introduced a new type of
diagram – the Decision Requirements
Diagram (DRD) – which models a domain of decision-making by decomposing it into a network of interdependent decisions, supported by areas of business knowledge and data. I showed that such models can support an efficient
methodology for scoping and implementing decision automation projects.

I thought you might like to know where these concepts have gone.
