Advancing the practice of
Decision Automation & management
Welcome to the DAO special interest group on the Decision Model and Notation (DMN).
We are setting the groundwork for the future of decision automation. Until now this essential part of digital transformation practice has been largely unstructured and piecemeal. We intend to change this.
There have been many exciting innovations in the decision space in recent years (e.g., the evolution and growth of a standard, better tooling and testing support) and we aim to supplement this with a consistent, scalable approach supported by a well-integrated, experienced community that shares ideas and best practices. Decision automation is proving to be the most effective way of integrating AI and ML into automated business operations and we plan to share this vision to help companies struggling with reliable and safe AI adoption. This will lead to larger and more robust successes.
We need practitioners, vendors and researchers of decision modelling, deployment and management to join this community – join us and ensure your expertise and achievements will be recognized.
Join us in solving industry challenges:
-
The industry needs leaders focused on delivering business value through decision automation, not just a technical tools
-
Many decision management projects & tool purchases fail to achieve ROI, due to lack of practice know-how
-
Product and service vendors attempting to differentiate create a lot of confusion and misconceptions with often contradicting pitches
- The industry is highly fragmented, clusters of approaches have formed with little information sharing or propagation of proven ideas
- Automation practitioners tend to be siloed by product vendor, and not lead by general best practices
- Industry analysts for decision automation tend to be journalists with little to no practical digital transformation experience and are influenced by vendors

The functionality offered by any DMN tool cannot be measured in a binary fashion. Nor can it be represented simply as a checklist of items which are part of the tool repertoire. It cannot be described on a single, graduated path either, because there are many independent aspects of functionality that may be more applicable in some business scenarios than others.

AUTOMATION WITH A MISSION
Our industry, despite its maturity, is just getting by. Projects suffer from lack of understanding more than a lack of technology.
As the On-Ramp committee, we believe every project benefits from an understanding of what’s possible balanced with today’s requirements. Making best practice widely available and consumable is the best way we can achieve escape velocity for our industry and DMN specifically.
