Design Theory and Policy Design. How to conceive the inconceivable.
Seminar Series “Decision Aiding for Policy Design and Evaluation”

Policies before being assessed need to be designed. Most formal decision support methods usually neglect how alternatives are designed and focus on how these should be evaluated.
Decision alternatives, however, are rarely given, are usually constructed/designed during the decision aiding process. In the talk we introduce the general problem of alternatives design for decision aiding purposes and we then extend these notions to the policy design case where public participation is an essential feature of the process.
