Testimonials

We have been using Decision Pro for three years now. The simulation programme is used as our MSc Construction Project Management course group assignment. The advantages derived from using the simulation package are manifolds: Decision Pro provides students an authentic experience in managing risk. Working through the processes embedded in DP allows the students to appreciate a structured and collaborative approach in managing project risks. The package also inculcates in students the ideas of interconnectedness of risk domains and the connection between qualitative and quantitative risk assessment. These experiences tremendously augment the students' abilities in managing risks in real life situation. Indeed, some of the students have indicated that the use of DecisionPro is a highlight of their experience in the course!

Decision Pro has been used for many years in our Bachelor of Construction Project Management program with great success. It provides students with a very clear, systematic and rigorous risk and opportunity management framework that guides them through a decision-making framework that reflects industry best practice. Decision Pro also provides students with insights into the importance of collaboration and consultation with project stakeholders when managing risk and opportunities on projects. Highly interactive and engaging for our students which is important in contemporary tertiary education. Highly recommend!

Professor Peter Smith; University of Technology Sydney, Australia.

We decided to use Decision Pro in our Construction Process Management MSc course because we wanted the students to actively look for risks in complex civil engineering project environments. The tool really took them by the hand in assessing the risks from a multi-disciplinary team perspective, supporting risk-based decisions on managing civil engineering projects in an international context. We found that even in AI driven student environments, Decision Pro adds value to the learning processes of young professionals.
