Fwd: 2023 Probability Management Summit Follow-Up

[Artur Dubrawski]

I think this is relevant and may be of interest to a few of us.
And we should have at least one representative of the Lab participate in
the event.

Please let Jessie and I know if you'd be interested.

Cheers
Artur

Hi Gentlemen,
Would you (and your students) be interested in participating in this
workshop on Probability Management in May '23?  They would like to come to
campus for a session on 5/25 where your participation would be requested.

If you could please let me know by noon this Friday if you might be
interested.  I'm focusing on SCS faculty, so if you know of any others in
SCS who might be interested in this, please let me know.

*Note:* CBE will be working to identify others around campus (in statistics
and in Tepper and Heinz) who may be interested.
Thank you,
George

Anita and George,



Thank you for your time yesterday and thank you to Courtney for creating
the connection.  I am including Sam Savage (Executive Director of
Probability Management) and Max Henrion (CEO of Lumina Decisions & CMU
Adjunct) to make sure their feedback and perspectives are included in our
conversation.



Here are the follow-up items to our conversation.



*What is the mission & vision of Probability Management?*
www.probabilitymanagement.org

Probability Management is the developer and promotor of an open-source
standard of sharing stochastic information across organizations and
business decisions called the SIPMath Standard.



Probability Management’s mission is to help decision makers make decisions
in the face of uncertainty through a better understanding of the chance of
meeting their objectives or avoiding risk.



Probability Management’s vision is a world where the brightest minds create
power plants of uncertainty that generate probability distributions and
accessing those probability distributions for decision-making is as simple
as screwing in a light bulb.



*What is the goal of the annual Probability Management Summit (2023 is May
24th & 25th)?*

Each year, Probability Management holds an invitation only summit of
decision scientists, engineers, and decision makers to come together and
collaborate on ways to apply the SIPMath Standard to decision-making and
methods to change organizational culture to adopt probabilistic methods for
making decisions.  The summit looks to also connect to institutions of
higher education where students and faculty are exploring problems that
could benefit from using the SIPMath Standard to generate probability
distributions, enhance decision-making, or optimize outcomes.



*What is our ask of CMU?*

   1. Identify faculty, researchers, and partners at CMU who would find the
   SIPMath standard relevant and would be interested in learning more about
   the standard and its application.
   2. Facilitate some introductions in advance of the summit to some of the
   relevant faculty & researchers to introduce them to the standard with the
   goal of applying it right away in their work.
   3. Publicize a 1-day educational program at CMU to learn about the
   SIPMath standard and its applications (hopefully with some examples from
   the advance introduction group)
   4. Provide space for the program



*What are some areas who may be interest?*

The SIPMath standard has found consistent applications in the energy
industry and military readiness applications.  However, Highmark Health and
Kaiser Permanente have begun using it in healthcare applications as well.
Additionally, there are applications in government policy.  Basically, any
place where people are trying to determine outcomes in uncertain conditions
would find the standard useful.



Doug Matty would be an excellent person to touch base with in the advance
group.  I looked at his LinkedIn profile, and he has connections to some of
the volunteers and sponsors at Probability Management, and he is a graduate
of the OR program at the Naval Postgraduate School (featured at the 2022
summit).



*Size Range*

We are expecting 30-40 people to attend the summit from around the country
for the 2 days.  It is reasonable to assume that the CMU day would add
another 30-40 CMU representatives.



Thank you again for your time and help.  Sam or Max if you have any
thoughts (especially on some advance group contacts at CMU), please share
them.  Anita and George, please let me know what other questions or
thoughts you have.



From,

Justin Schell (he/him)
