From Process-Centric to Decision-Centric Architecture

Posted on February 22, 2026 by decisionmanagementcommunity

Here is a quote from Stefaan Lambrecht‘s post: “Instead of process-centric orchestration with embedded decisions, design a decision-centric orchestration, driven by a coherent integrated decision model.” In the more detailed article “Decision-Centric Orchestration: The Next Competitive Advantage“, he demonstrates this … Continue reading →

Decidability Problem

Posted on January 23, 2026 by decisionmanagementcommunity

“We often assume that if we have good data and a good model, a decision can be made. That assumption quietly fails more often than we think,” – wrote Ron Itelman. “By decidability, I mean a boundary condition: A decision … Continue reading →
