This book outlines the creative process of making environmental
management decisions using the approach called "Structured Decision
Making." It is a short introductory guide to this popular form of
decision making and is aimed at environmental managers and
scientists. ""This is a distinctly pragmatic label given to ways
for helping individuals and groups think through tough
multidimensional choices characterized by uncertain science,
diverse stakeholders, and difficult tradeoffs. This is the everyday
reality of environmental management, yet many important decisions
currently are made on an ad hoc basis that lacks a solid
value-based foundation, ignores key information, and results in
selection of an inferior alternative. Making progress - in a way
that is rigorous, inclusive, defensible and transparent - requires
combining analytical methods drawn from the decision sciences and
applied ecology with deliberative insights from cognitive
psychology, facilitation and negotiation. The authors review key
methods and discuss case-study examples based in their experiences
in communities, boardrooms, and stakeholder meetings. The goal of
this book is to lay out a compelling guide that will change how you
think about making environmental decisions.
