This course introduces cadets to the interdisciplinary nature of decision-making by addressing how leaders make decisions in situations of incomplete, conflicting, and incorrect information using forecasting, modeling, and gaming. The curriculum enables cadets to synthesize long-term developments and potential future scenarios through forecasting and trend analysis. It requires cadets to apply lessons in a series of complex, competitive games. Cadets will leave the class with a basic understanding of the complexities involved in strategic decision-making and methods to frame, understand, and address that complexity.
