Abstract:

This presentation complements "Our Collaborative and Value-Creating Problemsolving Process with Case Studies," which illustrate its aspects. Case studies exemplify the importance of collaboratively: (1) defining the stakeholders' actual problem needs, (2) specifying the data and theory resources required to satisfy them, (3) designing the analysis and software tools to produce a problem solution, (4) building the problem solution, and finally (5) creating value for the stakeholders from this solution. In addition, they will portray what collaboration is and how to do it successfully. Case studies include 'Combination of Data Sources for Estimation of Success or Failure,' 'Pharmaceutical Product Development Projections,' 'Development of Event Tree Software for Safety,' and 'Forecast Models for the Salinity of the Salton Sea.'
