"Decision intelligence (DI) is at the Innovation Trigger of the Hype Cycle. DI is a practical discipline used to improve decision making by explicitly understanding and engineering how decisions are made, and how outcomes are evaluated, managed and improved via feedback....
There is a need to transparently represent how decisions are being made.
From a pure business perspective, it makes sense to curtail unstructured ad-hoc decisions that are siloed and disjointed, and properly harmonize collective decision outcomes across an entire organization. Software tools are now emerging that will enable organizations to practically implement DI projects and strategies."
Gartner now has DI on three hype cycles: AI, Data and Analytics Programs and Practices, and now Emerging Technologies in Finance. It is also significant that in adding DI to the Finance hype cycle, Gartner points out the importance DI in enabling cross-functional decision making.
