Session title: Listening to Cassandra: Making humanitarian decision-making more effective
Organizer(s): Dennis King
5 Mar 26 16:00-17:00
 
SessionAbstract

Never has the international humanitarian community had more collective data and information, the most advanced technology, and the most experienced professional workforce than right now. So why do governments and humanitarian organizations:

1) Still make stupid and ill-informed operational, programmatic, and strategic decisions?

2) Remain unprepared for surprise emergency events, situations, and unexpected circumstances?

3) Fail to recognize game-changing threats and the need to adapt, redesign and restructure the status quo system?

The solution to making humanitarian decision making more effective is not new technology, more data and information, or the latest project platforms – it is a trusted analyst or team providing better critical and creative actionable analysis tailored to the decision maker who can be held accountable
