Gratitude to Our Silver Sponsors Eli Lilly and Company, SmartOrg, Inc., Shell, Alliance for Decision Education— and to the Ideas They Help Bring Forward

At the 2026 SDP ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN BOSTON, we believe the quality of decisions shapes the quality of outcomes.

This year, our 𝓢𝓘𝓛𝓥𝓔𝓡 𝓢𝓟𝓞𝓝𝓢𝓞𝓡𝓢 are helping make possible conversations that go far beyond theory — conversations about how leaders navigate complexity, how intelligent systems are reshaping judgment, and how organizations can design decisions that are both rigorous and humane.

Because of their support, we’re able to feature voices who are tackling questions like:

✔️ How do we maintain clarity of framing in the age of AI?

✔️Where does human judgment add irreplaceable value?

✔️What distinguishes data-driven from decision-driven organizations?

✔️How do we lead when uncertainty is no longer the exception, but the norm?

These are not abstract topics. They are shaping capital allocation, innovation pipelines, risk posture, and long-term strategy across industries.

To our 𝓢𝓘𝓛𝓥𝓔𝓡 𝓢𝓟𝓞𝓝𝓢𝓞𝓡𝓢 — thank you. Your partnership strengthens a community committed to advancing Decision Quality in a world that needs it more than ever.

The ideas being explored this year at SDP 2026 Conference will ripple far beyond a single week in March. 👏👏👏 And that’s something worth supporting.

The Society of Decision Professionals (SDP) | A Great Decision Every Time invites you to our February 2026 Webinar:

𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗟𝗘 𝗕𝗢𝗧

🎤 Featuring Tom Keelin, Keelin Reeds Partners
📅 Wednesday, February 18, 2026
⏰ 8:00–9:00 AM PT | 11:00 AM–12:00 PM ET
💻 Live on Zoom
💰 Free for SDP Members | $40 for Non-Members

Since its launch in 2021, Wordle has racked up billions of plays—and many players rely on “the bot” to judge how well they did. But what if decision quality could consistently outperform it?

In this session, Tom Keelin shows how applying Decision Quality (DQ) principles—structuring, probabilistic reasoning, and value-of-information thinking—leads to measurably better Wordle decisions. You’ll see:

- How to compute expected information gain for guesses
- How to identify optimal next moves in any game state
- Why a DQ-optimized opening guess beats the bot’s
- A better approach for end-game guesses that outperforms the bot’s method

This is a fun, data-rich, and highly relatable demonstration of a bigger idea: better decisions lead to better outcomes—at work and in life.

Did you know the SDP Annual Conference isn’t just about sessions and speakers? It’s one of the few places where decision quality, real-world cases, and cross-industry perspectives all collide in the same room.

At the 2026 SDP Annual Conference, you’ll find conversations jumping from healthcare to energy to tech—often over coffee, poster boards, or impromptu hallway debates about framing, uncertainty, and tradeoffs. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲.
