We received 91 votes for our 2017 Community poll. The challenges/solutions which collected the most votes are presented in the following table:

As all votes were anonymous, it’s hard to tell how objective these results are: we do not know if voters selected certain decision models over others by actually comparing the models or by “voting for friends” with no comments. In 2018 we plan to select a small group of well-known DM experts, and ask them to compare all solutions for 2018 challenges and explain their reasons for selecting the winners.

If you have decision modeling problems to be published as new DM Challenges, please send them to decisionmanagementcommunity@gmail.com.
