The ability to ask the right questions is the key to successful decision modeling

Prof. Warren Powell wrote: “What all of us do, and I think it is without exception, is look at problems through the lens of the modeling frameworks that we have been trained in. We are prototypical hammers looking for nails.

The solution: We need to educate people in how to ask the right questions. These people should *not* be trained in any analytical methodology to avoid the bias that this unavoidably introduces. Instead, they need to learn how to ask the right questions, without any bias toward a solution approach
