Arizona State University (ASU) established the Decision Theater as a research consulting entity nearly a decade ago. Its mission has been to help other universities, corporations, and public agencies best understand the myriad impacts of their assumptions and decisions pertaining to a wide range of policies, plans and programs.
Researchers in these organizations have turned to the ASU Decision Theater Network – located just off the ASU campus in Tempe, Arizona – for its ability to synthesize and then facilitate the visualization and discussion of policy, plan and program data. Participants in disparate locations can then see how their research assumptions and decisions change when different factors are applied in real time.
