Decision intelligence is a discipline that combines data, analytics, business rules, and artificial intelligence to improve how organizations make decisions. Rather than simply presenting information, it helps connect available evidence to possible actions, evaluate likely outcomes, and support decisions within a defined business context. It can incorporate predictive models, optimization techniques, simulations, and human judgment.
For example, a supply chain team can use decision intelligence to assess demand forecasts, inventory levels, delivery constraints, and supplier risks before choosing how much stock to order. The system can compare potential actions and highlight their expected consequences, while people retain responsibility for the final decision. Related concepts include business intelligence, predictive analytics, AI, machine learning, and decision support systems.
