Westmont Decision Lab

People make thousands of decisions every single day. Some are small, repetitive, and low stakes: which brand of toothpaste to buy, what to have for lunch, what to wear to work. Other decisions have higher stakes: where to go to school, what career to pursue, who to marry. Organizational decisions may have larger environmental, economic, and societal impacts.

The Westmont Decision Lab, or DLab for short, is a collection of activities that help people and organizations make better decisions. These activities usually fall into one of the following three categories:

• Decision support projects: We work directly with community partners to help them frame, model, and analyze high-stakes decisions
• Decision training workshops: We train leadership teams to make high quality, value-focused decisions
• Writing projects: We reflect upon and write about decision making
