Evening Meeting

 Dr Lawrence Phillips is an Emeritus Professor of Decision    Science at the London School of Economics, and a Director of Facilitations Limited.  When he is not teaching decision science on the LSE’s MSc in Management, he works as a process consultant helping key players in organisations facing difficult decisions that must balance uncertainty and multiple conflicting objectives.

His publications explore how people manage uncertainty and risk, how culture affects the concept of uncertainty, and how groups can out-perform even their best members. 

His extensive experience with managers and executives in the private, public and voluntary sectors is the subject of numerous case studies that show the positive effects of structured approaches to making decisions. In November 2005, the Decision Analysis Society of INFORMS (Institute for Operational Research and Management Science) awarded Dr Phillips its highest honour, the Frank P. Ramsey medal for distinguished contributions to decision analysis.
