Achieve Strategic Velocity™
Together, we help you rethink uncertainty.
A440 Management LLC is a management consulting firm that specializes in helping organizations make decisions under uncertainty. With Decision Science as the foundation, we blend multiple approaches to create strategic velocity.
A440 Management specializes in confronting complex issues and uncertainty using applied decision sciences and Bayesian methods. We use the DIRECT™ framework to enable organizations to make better decisions under uncertainty.
Our Perspectives
Strategy is about choosing what we will and will not do
These choices are decisions we have to make under highly uncertain & competitive environments with imperfect information
There is pressure to act quickly or we lose the market moment
These combined factors increases the likelihood that our natural human biases will kick in.
Our brains are designed to look for decision making shortcuts to keep moving, but moving based on bad decisions is bad for business
Our expertise is in hacking these biases to make better decisions under uncertainty.
