- Taking Flight: How Aviation Can Teach Us About Effective Decision MakingGiacomo Belloni and Fabrizio Interlandi
In June 2023 the Decision Science Alliance held its Summer International Conference at the University of Milan, under the title The Future of Decision Making: Conscious Data-Driven Decisions via AI and Math-Optimization. Researchers and practitioners met to discuss how data, algorithms and optimisation can support better decisions, and where human judgement still has the last word.
On 9 June, Captain Giacomo Belloni and Captain Fabrizio Interlandi presented Taking Flight: How Aviation Can Teach Us About Effective Decision Making. Commercial aviation has spent decades learning how crews should decide under time pressure, with incomplete information and with lives at stake. The talk drew on that experience to show what other sectors can borrow from the flight deck: structured ways of reaching a decision, the habit of reviewing it as the situation develops, and the role of teamwork and communication when the unexpected happens.
